About book Il Ladro Di Polli (2005)

I really enjoyed looking through the pages of this wordless book. The story is about a fox who kidnapps a chicken. The fox treats the chicken differently than any other fox would, he is very gentle with the chicken. The illustrations are great. This book could be utilized in an elemntary classroom to support struggling readers. The children would see a fox kidnapping a chicken with a different perspective because most foxes would run off and eat the chicken but this one doesn't. A wordless story of a fox kidnapping a chicken (with the chicken's friends in hot pursuit). It's meant to be charming because it turns out by the end that the fox doesn't want to *eat* the chicken, ze wants to share a life with hir. And the chicken also wants to spend hir life with the fox. Only problem? The chicken didn't agree in the first case (so far as I could tell from a careful reading of the pictures). So basically it's a story of Stockholm Syndrome. Not so good.
