Awarded a 2011 Caldecott Honor!
A favorite joke inspires this charming tale, in which a little chicken's habit of interrupting bedtime stories is gleefully turned on its head.
It's time for the little red chicken's bedtime story —and a reminder from Papa to try not to interrupt. But the chicken can't help herself! Whether the tale is HANSEL AND GRETEL or LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD or even CHICKEN LITTLE, she jumps into the story to save its hapless characters from doing some dangerous or silly thing. Now it's the little red chicken's 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 colors —and offering humorous story-within-a-story views —this all-too-familiar tale is sure to amuse (and hold the attention of ) spirited little chicks.

Interrupting Chicken
A 2011 Caldecott Honor book that I read primarily because I saw it on Calista's site, though she gave it only 3 stars, and then confirmed that it would be the kind of title Melki would read (and it is; I look to Melki for the best--oddest, most startling, funniest--titles, when I need that kind of fix.
I like surprising picture books and this kinda was; a chicken Dad (ok, rooster), is trying to get his kid (ok, chicken, though not to say chick) to go to sleep, reading to him book after book which the kid (these are anthropomorphic chickens, hey) interrupts with a solution to the main character's problem and then the reading is over; for instance, in the reading of Hansel and Gretel he screams, "don't go in! She's a witch!). Papa eventually falls asleep when child reads him his own story about putting his father to sleep. Kinda funny, right? With goofy, kinda weird (do these birds look like chickens? really?) brightly colored artwork. Pretty fun, I think especially would be for kids.
