Interrupting Chicken

Written and Illustrated by David Ezra Stein

Every night at bedtime, the little red chicken promises Papa she will not interrupt his stories, and every single night she just cannot help herself! Whether Papa is reading Hansel and Gretel or Little Red Riding Hood, Chicken jumps right in to save the day, bringing every story to a very early end. But what happens when it is Chicken's turn to tell the story?

RIF's 60th Anniversary Highlighted Book for 2010.
