Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein

Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein

Awarded a 2011 Caldecott Honor! A favorite joke inspires this New York Times best-selling tale, in which a little chicken's habit of interrupting bedtime stories is gleefully turned on its head.

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 from doing some dangerous or silly thing. 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? 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.

David Ezra Stein is the author and illustrator of numerous children's books. Is David going to win? Is he sure he's right? Is the author attempting to recreate this enchantment? David Ezra Stein lives in New York's Kew Garden.

David Ezra Stein is the author-illustrator of several children's books, including Leaves, which received the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. I'll never forget sitting in a loved one's lap and having a whole world open up in front of me, he recalls, a world brought to life by the visuals and the grown-up's speech. The sense of awe is something I'd like to re-create in my own writings. David Ezra Stein is a New Yorker who lives in Kew Garden.
