Are You a Big Chicken?


Are you a big chicken? Leslie Helakoski’s book, Big Chickens, is the story of four frightened fouls fleeing (alliteration) a wolf who wanders into the barnyard. In an effort to escape, they hoot, scoot, and boot (rhyming words) it out of there and into one dangerous situation after another.
Today, in Readers’ Workshop, we took a picture walk of Henry Cole’s illustrations and inferred the feelings of both the frightened fouls and the wandering wolf. Read our class’ comments about what these characters are really like.
