Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise, Hardcover/David Ezra Stein

Contributor(s): Author: David Ezra Stein Illustrator: David Ezra Stein SurpriseThe little red chicken is back -- and as endearingly silly as ever -- in David Ezra Stein's follow-up to the Caldecott Honor-winning Interrupting Chicken. It's 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 "WhoaI didn't know that was going to happen," Papa is sure he can convince Chicken he's right. After all, there are definitely no 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.   Review citations Publishers Weekly / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - 07/23/2018 Publishers Weekly / Exceptional Presentation - 07/23/2018 Publishers Weekly / Book Of Special Distinction - 07/23/2018 Publishers Weekly / Top 15 Book Of The Year - 07/23/2018 Publishers Weekly / Highly Recommended - 07/23/2018 Booklist / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 66 - 07/01/2018 Booklist / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 66 - 07/01/2018 Booklist / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 66 - 07/01/2018 Booklist / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 66 - 07/01/2018 Booklist / Highly Recommended - pg. 66 - 07/01/2018 Kirkus Reviews - 07/15/2018 Horn Book Magazine - pg. 70 - 09/01/2018 School Library Journal / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 96 - 09/01/2018 School Library Journal / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 96 - 09/01/2018 School Library Journal / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 96 - 09/01/2018 School Library Journal / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 96 - 09/01/2018 School Library Journal / Highly Recommended - pg. 96 - 09/01/2018
