Review by Booklist Review
Galdone's traditional version, executed in oranges, yellows, and greens, is the best choice for those who like their Henny Penny unadulterated. Kellogg's hilarious variation milks every bit of humor from his contemporary scene, especially when Fox scrambles through his recipe book for ways to prepare his Chicken Little feast. Ormerod tells two stories in one. While on a school stage a cast of children enact the story of Chicken Licken, a baby in the audience is having his own adventures.

Review by Horn Book Review
These four books appear in uniform paper-over-board editions. Galdone was a refreshingly modest illustrator: his retellings are straightforward and his unassumingly loose-lined, color-separated pictures provide just enough embellishment. Plenty of white space gives the stories all the room they need. [Review covers these Folk Tale Classic titles: Cinderella, Henny Penny, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rumpelstiltskin.] (c) Copyright 2014.
