Review
Praise for Henny Penny:
"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." -Booklist
"[Henny Penny] is illustrated with subtle humour and interesting perspective by Werner Zimmerman. The first page made me laugh just as much as the first time I saw the book a few years ago... Read, enjoy the richly-toned illustrations, above all seek out and enjoy the comic details that denote character and the subtle patterning in many of the illustrations." -The Deakin Newsletter
