Interrupting Chicken

A New York Times bestseller!

“The delivery is Catskill perfect; readers will fall hard for the antics of this hapless pair.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It’s time for the little red chicken’s bedtime story — and a reminder from Papa to try not to interrupt. But the chicken can’t help herself! Whether the tale is Hansel and Gretel or Little Red Riding Hood or even Chicken Little, she jumps into the story to save its hapless characters. Now it’s the little red chicken’s turn to tell a story, but will her yawning papa make it to the end without his own kind of interrupting? The charming 2011 Caldecott Honor Book is available in paperback for the first time.

It’s time for the little red chicken’s bedtime story — and a reminder from Papa to try not to interrupt. But no matter what the story is, she jumps in to save its characters. When it’s her turn to tell a story, will her yawning papa make it? It’s homework time for the little red chicken, who’s just learned every good story should have an elephant of surprise. Or could it be an element of surprise (as her papa explains)? After all, there are no elephants in “The Ugly Duckling,” — right? It’s bright and early on Saturday morning, and the little red chicken wants cookies for breakfast. What better way to persuade Papa than by jarring him awake and gleefully interjecting cookies—and herself!—into every nursery rhyme they read together?
