THE FAMOUS ADVENTURE OF A BIRD-BRAINED HEN

Jessica Souhami, . . Frances Lincoln, $6.95 (36pp) ISBN 978-1-84507-310-7

Henny Penny has rarely looked more fetching than in Souhami's neon-bright cut- and torn-paper collages. The orange-feathered heroine uses a triangular pink umbrella to ward off the sky's ammunition, while blue-and-green Ducky Daddles sports a protective cone hat fashioned from a newspaper and Cocky Locky dons a flower pot on their way to warn the King. Ages 1-5. (Oct.)
