Interrupting Chicken

Interupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein
2011 Caldecott Honor

This is definitely a book on the light side. In fact it's silly! It was bedtime for the little red chicken. Her Papa says "And of course you are not going to interrupt the story tonight are you?"
"Oh no, Papa. I'll be good."

But, you guessed it. . . she interrupts every story!

This book will be best appreciated by people who are familiar with the traditional stories that are interrupted!
Hansel and Gretel . . . "out jumped a little red checkin, and she said 'DON'T GO IN! SHE'S A WITCH!' So Hansel and Gretel didn't. THE END!"
 Little Red Riding Hood . . . "Out jumped a little red checkin, and she said 'DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!' So the Littel Red Riding Hood didn't. THE END!"
etc.

This type of story honestly isn't my cup of tea, but I did appreciate the ending. . . Papa falls asleep before the little red chicken. Something I can certainly relate to!
