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.
