Interrupting Chicken Av David Ezra Stein

<p><b>A favourite joke inspires this charming tale, in which a little chicken¿s habit of interrupting bedtime stories is gleefully turned on its head.</b><br><br>It¿s time for the little red chicken¿s bedtime story ¿ and a reminder from Papa to <i>try </i>not to interrupt. But the chicken can¿t help herself! Whether the tale is <i>Hansel and Gretel </i>or <i>Little Red Riding Hood </i>or even <i>Chicken Little, </i>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 colours ¿ and offering humorous story-within-a-story views ¿ this all-too-familiar tale is sure to amuse (and hold the attention of) the most spirited little chicks.</p>
