Summary "Chicken Little Jane on the Big John" by Lily Munsell Ritchie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a spirited young girl named Chicken Little, who navigates the joys and challenges of growing up on a ranch in Kansas. Through her adventures and interactions with her family and friends, the narrative captures the essence of rural life, childhood curiosity, and the transition from girlhood to adolescence. The opening of the novel introduces Chicken Little as she is called by her mother while cooking doughnuts in the hot kitchen. Mrs. Morton is concerned about her daughter’s free-spirited ways, preferring that Chicken Little engage in more traditional activities like music and sewing. However, as Chicken Little is found absorbed in a book rather than fulfilling her chores, it sets up the tension between her adventurous nature and her mother's expectations. The story unfolds with Chicken Little heading to the pasture with her younger sister, Jilly, where their escapade leads them into unexpected trouble with a herd of steers, showcasing both her bravery and the lively dynamics of their family life.
