by Jackie Mims Hopkins (Author), Henry Cole (Illustrator)
When Mary McBlicken the prairie chicken hears a rumblin' and a grumblin', she sets off to warn her friends in this prairie-style twist on Chicken Little.
Mary McBlicken is sure a stampede's a comin'! She hurries to the ranch, gathering up her friends--a prairie dog, a jack rabbit, and a meadowlark--along the way. Before the fine feathered and furry folks get to their destination, they encounter a coyote who says he knows a shortcut. Should they trust him? Will they find Cowboy Stan and Red Dog Dan in time? And where is that rumbling coming from anyway?
Jackie Mims Hopkins brings readers a hilarious, prairie-style rendition of a well-loved tale. Henry Cole's energetic illustrations perfectly complement the hilarity and will have readers laughing out loud.
