Interrupting Chicken Paperback – Picture Book, July 11, 2016

Fun read aloud if you’re looking for a good one and tired of the book with no pictures. My daughter thinks it’s pretty funny

I'm a substitute teacher - I always bring a book with me when I sub for elementary classes as a way to pass time, if needed. I'm pretty particular about which kid's books I buy and use, however, as I like books that are unique, clever, funny, and/or have a theme that can be turned into a lesson/writing activity. The classics are great, of course, but I want a book that is out of the ordinary.The concept of this story is clever. The wording and facial expressions of the chickens are hilarious! Another reviewer mentioned that the facial expressions needed more attention, but I felt they were adequate enough to convey what they were supposed to. I chuckle every time I see Chicken's dopey face as he tells Papa AGAIN that he'll be good. And it's clear to see Papa's frustration every time Chicken interrupts.The moral of this story may not be as clear to the reader as one would think. If you're hoping to use this book to teach or show why it's rude to interrupt, you might want a different book altogether.The ending doesn't offer a solution to Chicken's constant interrupting. In fact, I personally didn't feel that Chicken even had a problem with interrupting - instead, I felt that he was caring ("Oh, Papa. I couldn't let that little chicken get all upset over an acorn!"), jumping into the story right when something bad was going to happen and saving the day. Chicken was also imaginative, adding his own twist to classic stories and creating his own original story to read to Papa. Use this book as an example of compassion or creativity instead! If you just want a book that's adorably funny, however, then this one is perfect for that, too!For those reviewers who said this book was lame and boring - I think not! Some people need to lighten up a bit...kids and adults alike will enjoy this story and it is certainly a great addition to any bookshelf!

this is one of my first graders favorite books to read as she identifies with little chicken. little chickens lines are easy enough for her to read, making this a very engaging bedtime book.

I bought this for my 4yo granddaughter who is an only child who needs to work on manners. My son loves it because she is always interrupting him. I also bought a book about treating others as you would like to be treated... like saying PLEASE

Great book that teaches kids not to interrupt!

I bought this for my kiddos Easter basket, it’s funny. All my kids find it funny and often pick this book to read out loud.

I brought this book to the school in the village near my home in The Gambia. I taught for first grade for 18 years and my students always loved this book!

Used it to teach students about the importance of interrupting and how to avoid it in the classroom. It’s about bedtime stories so I had to relate it to the classroom. Very funny and a great price
