Ezra stein5/18/2023 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.įull 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. 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. He lives in Kew Gardens, New York, with his two children and a bunny named Bun Bun. It’s homework time for the little red chicken, who has just learned about something every good story should have: an elephant of surprise. David Ezra Stein is the Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator and author of Interrupting Chicken as well as many other award-winning picture books, including Dinosaur Kisses Hush, Little Bunny and Leaves, winner of an Ezra Jack Keats Award. 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.
