It doesn't matter if you are a storytime librarian, classroom teacher or sleepy parent - Interrupting Chicken
will have you matching giggles and gaffaws with your audience--Bookends (Booklist blog)
Stein uses page turns dramatically to build tension, which is released each time the chicken interrupts and amends a fairy tale...illustrations are vivid and dramatic. Great fun for reading aloud.
