Interrupting Chicken
by David Ezra Stein
As a big fan of the author, I was so excited to receive Interrupting Chicken after its release. And Stein, author of Monster Hug, did not disappoint! Little red chicken is ready for bed, excepting her bedtime story, courtesy of Papa. But she can't just stand aside as Hansel and Gretyl, Little Red Riding Hood, and Chicken Little make potentially dangerous decisions! Will Papa ever manage to finish a story without an interruption? A hilarious read-aloud, especially for children old enough to understand the traditional fates of the storybook characters.
