Summary: This is a funny book about a family of chickens. It is time bedtime for the little chicken and the father attempts to read him a bedtime story. Despite her father’s attempts the little chicken interrupts his story over and over.
Use with students: I would use Interrupting Chicken to teach K-3 lessons on the simple fundamentals of manners and the role of the son/daughter/father. Though for this title, I would just read this story for the pure enjoyment of modernized tale-telling.
