A fantastic specimen of wordless picture books. High adventure, communicative expressions on the characters as emotions shift, and just plain beautiful illustrations. Although, I did finish the book and shelve it in the "how to explain Stockholm syndrome to young children" area of my brain, which wasn't really an area of my brain before this, but I suppose it pays to be prepared for unexpected reference questions.Still recommend it as a wordless picture book, especially to kids who want bright, clear illustrations. Many wordless picture books have "serious" style illustrations, but these are more cartoonish, which I personally prefer. I found The Chicken Thief to be an interesting Children's book. It was text-less, only allowing the story to be told through the illustrations. It is a clever and silly story, showing a little fox who steals a chicken. In a turn of events, it comes to be that the chicken wanted to be stolen. All of this is left up for interpretation, due to the nature of the formating of the book (only illustrations). I'm not sure that this book contains any intrinsic value in itself. However, it is good for kids who are not able to read yet.
