New from the team behind The Three Ninja Pigs and Ninja Red Riding Hood
These ninja chicks are anything but chicken!
When Hensel and Gretel’s dad gets snatched by a fox, the sisters put their ninja skills to work to track him down before he can be stir-fried.
But are these two little chicks ready to take on a dark tangled forest, a tricky house made of corn bread, and an even trickier fox?
This plucky pair isn’t giving up without a fight! Kiya!

"After their mother is abducted by a fox, chickens Hensel and Gretel take rescue into their own hands by learning to become ninjas in this rollicking fractured fairy tale... No helpless, victimized protagonists here—only empowered poultry." —School Library Journal
"The classic fairy tale gets a fowl-focused, martial-arts makeover in this jaunty picture book. Schwartz and Gomez’s lively limericks tell the story in a swift, kicky rhythm, while Santat’s dynamic, warm-toned, and action-filled illustrations throw a nice nod to kung-fu movies." —Booklist
"The rhyming, fast-paced text is packed with one-liners.... Cheep thrills indeed!" —Kirkus Reviews
Companion to the hit The Three Ninja Pigs and Ninja Red Riding Hood, this fractured fairy tale is a sure-fire storytime hit.
