Chicken Little
A Golden Shape Book
by Ruth Ruhman
1973
When I was little I always hated the chicken little story. Actually I hated any books that went on repeating themselves. It just always kind of annoyed me and made me want to say “yeah yeah we know all this” But this edition of chicken little is just so beautiful, that I wouldn’t mind sitting down with it again.
My uncle, only ten years older than me, used to read this story to me with curse words and other obscenities mixed in. My mother always wondered, from the other room, why we howled with laughter. Ah, my checkered childhood. ;-)
