Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

PreS-K- When Hen overhears a conversation between Pig and Cow, she can't wait to tell her friends. But she gets it all confused as she passes it on to Duck, and he muddles it even more as he passes it on to Goose, who tangles the tale again when passing it on to Turkey. So by the time Turkey returns to Hen, there's a very different story from the one she started. "Hen! Hen! You're lazy, fat, and ate all the corn." Poor Hen is outraged and as she and her friends untangle the tale, they discover the real news from Cow. "My baby calf was born!" Preschoolers will chuckle at the silliness surrounding this game of telephone, even if the joke becomes a bit strained when Cow's real news becomes jumbled again, even though all four friends are standing together. The inventive paper collage and mixed-media illustrations show the characters that inhabit this child-friendly story. Perspectives vary on the different animals to create a sense of moving about the farmyard from page to page. This seems like the perfect toddler book, were it not for the choice of the word "gossip," seemingly a difficult word for preschoolers to understand. It's only used twice: in the title and on the first page. But it's enough to put a damper on an otherwise delightful book.-Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NY

Kirkus Reviews
Hen hears a juicy bit of gossip in the barnyard and can't wait to tell someone. Of course, as each animal tells another, the information becomes more and more distorted. When the story makes its rounds and comes back to Hen, she discovers that it is now being said that she is "lazy, fat, and ate all the corn." Determined to prove her innocence, she works with the other animals to check out the veracity of each variation. Even the attempts to set the record straight get everyone mixed up. McDonald has a light touch, employing language that is simple and direct, and the bits of transmogrifying gossip are delightfully absurd. Kim's mixed-media illustrations take the form of bright, childlike and appropriately goofy cartoons that incorporate lots of eye-catching patterns and designs, and even a hidden message. This gentle lesson about the insidious nature of gossip will be understood by all but the very youngest readers, who can enjoy it just for fun. (Picture book. 3-6)
