Interrupting Chicken: Cookies for Breakfast
Series: Interrupting Chicken
Price: $8.99
Pub Date: October 10, 2023
Format: Paperback
“Stein doesn’t miss a beat. . . .This essential addition is a snug and hilarious version of quality time and the worthiness of a good argument.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
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? The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe heartily endorses the little red chicken’s plan, but Papa has his own idea for a sweet breakfast for his determined daughter. Featuring the same riotous charm and bright, bold art as the Caldecott Honor Book 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 if the early bird will get the cookie.

Series: Interrupting Chicken
Price: $8.99
Pub Date: September 8, 2021
Format: Paperback
“Fresh, funny, and satisfying. . . . A treat for Interrupting Chicken fans.” —Booklist (starred review)
It’s homework time for the little red chicken, who has just learned that every good story should have an elephant of surprise. Or could it be an element of surprise (as her amused papa explains)? As they dive in to story after story, looking for the surprise, Papa is sure he can convince Chicken he’s right. After all, there are definitely no elephants in “The Ugly Duckling,” “Rapunzel,” or “The Little Mermaid”—or are there? Elephant or element, something unexpected awaits Papa in every story, but a surprise may be in store for the little red chicken as well. Full of the same boisterous charm that made the Caldecott Honor Book Interrupting Chicken so beloved, this gleeful follow-up is sure to delight fans of stories, surprises, and elephants alike.
