Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein, (2010)
Interesting Facts:This picture book has received the 2011 Caldecott Medal.
About the Book:At bedtime, Little Red Chicken insists that Papa read a story to her. Despite her father’s reminder to not interrupt, Chicken continues to do so ruining the endings to all the stories shortly after their beginnings. She interrupts Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Chicken Little before they run out of stories to read. To solve the problem, Papa turns the tables on the little red chicken asking her to tell him a story which leads to a different kind of problem.
Why read it?It is humorous and can be used to introduce a lesson about manners. Readers of all ages will enjoy the colorful illustrations which will trigger memories from their own childhood read-aloud. This picture book struck a personal cord with me personally because I have the habit of interrupting people. Like Little Red Chicken, I too try to stop myself but many times just can’t help it.
