The Silly Chicken -- El Pollo Bobo [Paperback]

The Silly Chicken is a delightful and humorous tale about a chicken who learns to speak as we do  with surprising and unexpected consequences. The events that follow intrigue young children and, and at the same time, alert them in a very amusing way to the dangers of being too quick to believe everything you hear. Illustrator Jeff Jackson creates a lively and amusing world, rich in color and expression, in which anything can happen. This tale is one of the many hundreds of Sufi developmental stories collected by Idries Shah from oral and written sources in Central Asia and the Middle East.
