Overview / 简介: |
When a drop of water falls — plop! — on Loony Little’s head, she and her friends decide that they must bring this unfortunate news to the fearsome queen. Maybe she can explain how this strange turn of events will affect them. But when sly Foxy Loxy volunteers to escort all the animals to the queen’s lair, Loony suspects that the fate of the Arctic and its marvelous creatures is not what the fox — or the queen — really cares about. Now, who can they find who does care? |

PreSchool-Grade 1-A takeoff on "Chicken Little" that doesn't fly. Loony Little feels a drop of water on her head and concludes that the polar ice cap is melting. On the way to deliver her message to the Polar Bear Queen, she meets Dovekie Lovekie, Puffin Muffin, Harey Clarey, and Sealy Sally, who accompany her. When Foxy Loxy offers to escort them, Loony Little falls behind because she "couldn't waddle or hop as well as the others" (it seems she forgets she can fly). Realizing where the fox is taking them, she throws a piece of ice that hits him on the head, convincing him that indeed the ice cap is melting. He runs to tell Polar Bear, who promptly eats him. As the tale concludes with the animals, sans fox, searching for someone who will care about the fate of the Arctic, a drop of water heads downward toward the loon again. Attractive spreads are done in a mix of acrylic, watercolor, and gel. A note about the Arctic and a short introduction to each of the animals mentioned are included. Though the book appears to be directed toward young children, the threat of global warming and its impact will be of little concern to them. The open ending may appeal to older children, but only with discussion. For a revised "Chicken Little," try Jane Wattenberg's entertaining Henny-Penny |
