      This production is a complete package; voice, illustrations, and music complement each other and provide an upbeat, memorable listening experience. As Ed Emberly mentions in the concluding interview, he and daughter Rebecca are "addicted to fun" and are rewarded when they "pass the fun on." The fun begins with the illustrations of Chicken Little and his ditzy companions--all with bright cut-paper feathers and googly eyes. Walter Mayes uses his full vocal range as each "springing" and "boinging" creature responds to the declaration that the sky is falling. Name an emotion--incredulity, hesitation, hysteria, excitement--and Mayes gives it voice; loud, breathy, quavering, screeching, rasping--he does them all! Rollicking music underscores Mayes's narration. A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      Kellogg applies his antic imagination to an unusual version of dippy Chicken Little's story. Foxy Loxy, disguising himself as a cop, herds Chicken Little and the other birds into a van when they report the falling sky. It's an emergency, wily Reynard declares: "I'll take you directly to headquarters!'' Foxy drives off to his lair and happily plans poultry feasts to dine on for the next several months. But Kellogg's new actor in the drama, Hippo Hefty, is a policeman and a hero. He arrests Foxy Loxy and the feathered captives go home instead of into an oven as they do in other retellings. Instead of regretting the confusion she has created, Chicken Little plants the ``falling sky'' acorn beside her coop. When it grows into a tall oak, she sits in the shade and tells her grandchildren about her Great Adventure. The full-color pictures of the characters (in jazzy costumes) and locale are packed with excitement.

      Kellogg soups up a standard when Foxy Loxy offers to take the confused Chicken Little to headquarters to report the emergency. All ages.
