The Sky is Falling!
by Mark Teague

Chicken Little thinks that the sky is falling -- and inspires a dance craze! Award-winning author and illustrator Mark Teague tells his humorous version of "Chicken Little" with a zany twist! When an acorn hits Chicken Little on the head, she panics and screeches, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Squirrel, who knew a thing or two about acorns, tried to set the record straight, as did the other animals. You can't blame someone for wanting to dance, even if the sky isn't really falling!
