From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2. Straightforward retellings of classic tales, written for beginning readers. Henny-Penny is the better of the two because of its fast-paced linear plot and repetitive language. The Magic Porridge Pot, set in today's world, is more complex. The subtle differences in the right and wrong commands ("Little pot, cook" and "Cook, little pot") and lack of repetitive words and phrases require children to have better reading and comprehension skills. Though there are certainly context clues in the full-color illustrations in both books, the style is flat, and the pictures don't capitalize on the opportunity to enhance the stories. Additional purchases for libraries with large beginning-to-read collections.?Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Booklist
Gr. 1^-2. Putting familiar tales into easy-to-read formats can be a little gimmicky. However, the story of Henny-Penny, with its repetitive words and sentences ("I'm going to tell the King the sky is falling"), works better than most. The artwork, featuring good-size characters, will appeal to new readers. An on-target offering. Ilene Cooper
