Now its the little red chickens 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 colorsand offering humorous story-within-a-story viewsthis all-too-familiar tale is sure to amuse (and hold the attention of) spirited little chicks. A favorite joke inspires this charming tale, in which a little chickens habit of interrupting bedtime stories is gleefully turned on its head. Awarded a 2011 Caldecott Honor!
