Interrupting Chicken

Description

It’s time for the little red chicken’s bedtime story—and a reminder from Papa to take a look at to not interrupt. However the chicken can’t assist herself! Whether the tale is Hansel and Grettel or Little Red Riding Hood and even Chicken Little, she jumps into the story to save lots of its hapless characters from doing some dangerous or silly thing.

Now it’s the little red chicken’s turn to inform a story, but will her yawning papa make it to the end without his own roughly interrupting? Energetically illustrated with glowing colors—and offering humorous story-within-a-story views—this all-too-familiar tale is sure to amuse (and hold the attention of) spirited little chicks.

A favorite joke inspires this charming tale, during which slightly chicken’s habit of interrupting bedtime stories is gleefully turned on its head.
