Description



About the Book



The little red chicken wakes up hungry for one thing: cookies! Papa thinks nursery rhymes would make a better morning treat--and an excuse to rest in bed a little longer. But with little Chicken, nothing happens quite as planned.



Book Synopsis



In her latest star turn, the little red chicken from the Caldecott Honor Book Interrupting Chicken is hungry--and sillier than ever.

It's bright and early on a Saturday morning, and the little red chicken wants cookies for breakfast. What better way to persuade Papa than by jarring him awake and gleefully interjecting cookies--and herself!--into every nursery rhyme they read together? Though the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe heartily endorses the little red chicken's plan, Papa has his own idea for a sweet breakfast for his determined daughter. Featuring the same riotous charm and bright, bold art as Interrupting Chicken and Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise, David Ezra Stein's third installment will have any fan with a sweet tooth and a love of meta rhyme clamoring to find out: will the early bird get the cookie?



Review Quotes




Comedic timing, characters' faces, and Chicken's persistence are a master class in interruption; Stein doesn't miss a beat. . . . Logic-defying retorts aside, this essential addition is a snug and hilarious version of quality time and the worthiness of a good argument.
--School Library Journal (starred review)

A sweet and silly read for any time of day.
--Kirkus Reviews

The 'Interrupting Chicken' books won't lull any child to sleep--the pace is too jangly and jumpy for that--but they do tend to delight 4- to 8-year-olds, especially those with a tendency to butt in.
--The Wall Street Journal

This latest installment of the interrupting chicken saga is, like the rest, hilarious, vibrantly illustrated and witty.
--The Virginian-Pilot

Perfect bedtime reading.
--The Saint Paul Pioneer Press Online

Nursery Rhyme Makeovers & Cookies in Bed!

5 out of 5 stars
Tickmenot - 3 years ago
Little chicken is wide awake and wants his Papa to wake up, too--and eat cookies together! Papa desperately wants to get more sleep, and get his little chick to give up on the idea of cookies for breakfast. As little chick bounces on Papa’s bed, he starts reciting nursery rhymes, but he changes them to include eating cookies. “There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” and “Hickory, Dickory, Doc,” are a couple nursery rhymes that get hilarious make overs that include cookies. Eventually, Papa gets up, and gets breakfast for his little chicken, but is it cookies? This fun story of little chick and his Papa takes place on familiar ground. As any parent of a little one knows, once they decide you should get up, they are very persistent. This over-sized, hard-backed, picture book contains brilliant illustrations that bring even more life to this already high energy book. Children will love the way little chicken changes nursery rhymes to try to get cookies. They will definitely identify with being wide awake and trying to get a parent out of bed. I recommend this five-star book to children four to eight years old. Candlewick Press has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of, “Interrupting Chicken,” for the purpose of review.

The Chicken Interrupts Again!

5 out of 5 stars
Cteach1 - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is the third book in the series. It is as cute as ever. This time chicken wants to eat cookies for breakfast and Papa is sleepy. This may be my favorite! You have to read it to find out if chicken gets his cookies.
