A duck and an owl contemplate starting a friendship, despite their differences in appearance and behavior.

The Duck and the Owl

Children's Books

Johansen, Hanna

Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths

Dutton Books for Young Readers

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 henhouse 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 henhouse wall. 
 Our heroine is no fool; she knows her limitations, but doesn't let them destroy her ambitions, any more than she lets the henhouse 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 debatable, but through her persistence and her resolute belief in herself, she does manage to change the lives of everyone in the henhouse for the better. 
 This delightful fable is the first book by Hanna Johansen to be published in English. The spirited pen-and-ink illustrations by KÃ¤thi Bhend, printed in two colors, capture the henhouse denizens and their frenetic escapades down to the last feather.

Henrietta and the Golden Eggs

Animals

David R. Godine, Publisher

In this delightful fable by the team behind Henrietta and the Golden Eggs, a cantakerous duck and a grumpy owl square off over the right way to eat, the right time to sleep, and the right place to perch. Neither thinks the other is right about anything, and each clearly has a blind spot about the other's way of life. Johansen tells the story almost entirely through dialogue, giving lively energy to the petty bickering and narrow-mindedness that stand in the way of a woodland friendship. Bhend's intricate, telling ink drawings, show convincingly the value in each creature's point of view. Together, words and pictures reveal how respect for others can be the first step toward true friendship and real understanding. And, as any good fable should, it does it all without preaching its moral or losing its sense of humor.
