Characteristics to Support Genre: This classic fable has been retold for generations. Most of the characters have rhyming names and are anthropomorphized. It also teaches a moral lesson not to believe everything you hear. Comparing the different versions, we find that in the Scots and English stories the animals want "to tell the king" that the skies are falling; while in the American story, as in the Danish, they are not given any specific motivation. In all versions they are eaten by the fox, although in different circumstances. What lessons could you teach with this text? This would be a good book to practice identifying conflict and other parts of the story with. It was followed in 1850 by “The wonderful story of Henny Penny” in Joseph Cundall's compilation, The Treasury of pleasure books for young children. Each story there is presented as if it were a separate book, and in this case had two illustrations by Harrison Weir. In reality the story is a repetition of the Chambers narration in standard English, except that the dialect phrase "so she gaed, and she gaed, and she gaed" is retained and the cause of panic is mistranslated as "the clouds are falling".
