Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise

By: David Ezra Stein

Narrated by: Andrew Watts

Surprise! The 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 "Whoa! I 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 listeners, this gleeful follow-up is sure to delight fans of stories, surprises, and elephants alike.

Elephant of fun

Unsurprisingly, little Chicken would hear a word wrong, but it is adorable that she lets it fit into her homework. Another adorable read, as always. I bet children will also have a ball listening to this.
