Reach for this book when your child is prone to catastrophizing small mishaps or following the crowd without questioning the facts.

It is especially useful for children who struggle with anxiety or impulsive decision-making based on peer influence. In this Usborne First Reading edition, Chicken Licken is hit on the head by an acorn and immediately concludes the sky is falling. As he gathers a flock of feathered friends to tell the King, their lack of discernment leads them straight into the path of a hungry fox. While the humor keeps the tone light, the story serves as a gentle cautionary tale about verifying information and being wary of charismatic strangers. It is a perfect tool for parents to introduce the concept of logical reasoning to 4 to 7 year olds.
