Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise

Surprise! The little red chicken is back and as endearingly silly as ever in David Ezra Steins follow-up to the Caldecott Honorwinning Interrupting Chicken. Its homework time for the little red chicken, who has just learned about something 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 part that makes a reader say Whoa! I didnt know that was going to happen, Papa is sure he can convince Chicken hes right. After all, there are definitelyno 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 Interrupting Chicken so beloved by readers, this gleeful follow-up is sure to delight fans of stories, surprises, and elephants alike.
