HENNY PENNY AND THE BIG BAD WOLF (1978)


I recently acquired this children's book published by Random House, as part of the 'Disney's Wonderful World of Reading' series, which happens to be the US edition of a Danish book titled Honsine og himlen der faldt ned published by Gutenberghus of Copenhagen (writer and artist unknown). It is an adaptation of the fable 'The Sky Is Falling' in which the cunning fox's role is taken by the Big Bad Wolf:








In the original fable, the fox does get to devour the chicken!.., as was the case in the Disney cartoon short adaptation Chicken Little (1943).
