review 1: "The Chicken Thief" is a beautifully illustrated, wordless story, but I am not sure concerning the book's message, which is supposed to be unexpected "love". The so-called love story features a hen abducted by a fox while her friends are watching in horror. A hen who in the end shows symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome and sends her faithful friends home after a long and laborious rescue mission with a wave of her wing.After "reading" the story and finding out that the bear, the rabbit and the goose are depicted as the characters who misinterpreted the dangerous-seeming situation wrongly (they blush self-consciously, when they see the hen hug the fox and look away), and that the fox is meant to be a gruff, tough-shell-guy with a marshmallow heart instead of a criminal who chang... morees his mind mid-story, I don't feel comfortable enough to give the hardcover to my little niece anymore.

Bear, rabbit, and rooster give chase, but in a twist on the usual children's story, this fox is not a villain. Rather, he tenderly holds hen as he runs into the night. A funny and life-affirming story, The Chicken Thief defies expectations, enlivening the mind with its cleverness while going straight for the heart. This intelligent and charming book is great for all ages. A love story, a road movie, and a playful speculation on stereotypes and misconceptions, The Chicken Thief makes for an unforgettable reading experience!Béatrice Rodriguez was born in 1969.
