Interrupting Chicken

Author: David Ezra Stein

Award: Caldecott Honor Book

Little Red Chicken is listening to her papa read a bed time story.  Well...listening is stretching it a bit.  Papa wants to read the book, but Little Red Chicken can't seem to be quiet, she has to interrupt to warn the characters about the bad parts in the book.  Papa is tired and just wants to be done, so he decides to have Little Red Chicken write a book of her own.  I like this book because when Little Red Chicken writes her book, it looks like and sounds like a kid wrote the words.  This is a great inspirational book for young writers!
