In this book, Chicken Little, who is well known for leaping to conclusions, is knocked down by a wolf jogging by. It must be the Big, Bad Wolf! He\u2019s certainly big anyway.<\/p>\n

And when Chicken Little tells another chicken about it, the whole flock is all aflutter. What should their reaction be, fight or flight? And will either one work for a bunch of chickens?<\/p>\n

While the flock is laying plans, Chicken Little decides to bravely investigate. She asks the wolf, \u201cAre you bad?\u201d<\/p>\n

And the wolf answers:<\/p>\n

Me? I don\u2019t think so. I suppose we all have light and dark in us. . . but I try to make good choices if that\u2019s what you mean.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It turns out that the wolf is a vegetarian, which made it hard for him to fit in with other wolves. After Chicken Little convinces the flock, they think of a way to make him feel at home.<\/p>\n

It all adds up to a delightfully silly story about not jumping to conclusions and being willing to make others feel welcome.<\/p>\n
