Henrietta and the Golden Eggs
A read-aloud book for young children about one chicken’s dream of a better life outside the coop.
Henrietta has big dreams for a little chicken: learning to sing, to swim, to fly, and, most important of all, to lay golden eggs. Even when her three thousand, three hundred thirty-three fellow inmates in the old hen house laugh at her ambitions, Henrietta holds fast, practicing day and night. And while she’s honing her talents, she’s also getting ready to move on to the bigger, brighter world she can see through the tiny hole in the hen house wall.
Henrietta knows her limitations, but doesn’t let them destroy her ambitions, any more than she lets the hen house walls keep her a prisoner. And she’s not above causing a little havoc along the way — once the other three thousand, three hundred thirty-three chickens find her escape route, chaos reigns in the barnyard, by the pond, and among the wheat fields.
Whether Henrietta achieves her dreams is left open, but through her persistence and her resolute belief in herself, she does manage to change the lives of everyone in the hen house for the better. A fun read-aloud with a message for children and parents.
