Interrupting Chicken: (Funny Read Aloud Children's Picture Book About Surprises, Fairy Tales, and Storytelling for Kids Ages 4-8)

Love this book. It's funny and had my Kindergartens so engaged. Great lesson on problem-solving and patience.

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!

Such a cute story; great book for a PaPa to give a grandchild.

These books are hilarious! Our daughter loves them and so do we.

This is such a cute book. My grandson loves to have it read to him. It’s a cute book.

Great kids book. Teaches a good lesson. Awesome pictures and story.

We absolutely love the Interupting chicken series. If you’re looking for a fun read with your child this is the one. My son looks forward to reading the chicken parts.

This has been one of my grandsons favorite books for the past year. He just turned 4 and loves to look at the colorful illustrations. He has even “read” it to me.

I got this book for my service, I work for. The children enjoyed the book. we have a squeaky chicken to go with the book.

Libro divertente, forse per un bambino di almeno 3 anni.

Bought it for my daughter`s friend. The children found it so hilarious that I ordered it for my daughter as well.

息子はこの本が大好きで、文章を全て覚えるほどです。読みやすいです。毎回大爆笑しながら読んでいます。

Such a funny book, especially as my son likes to interrupt at every storytime. He was giggling his head off but also made him think about interrupting!
