Interrupting Chicken (2010)

This is a good book for a read aloud, as well as a book to encourage students to write in different ways. This would be good to use when talking about HOW an author writes. ( )

This book would be appropriate for primary children because it has a small amount of text on each page and features big pictures. The book explained how the little red chicken keeps interrupting the stories the father is reading and ends up reading her own story, which leads to her father falling asleep. I would use this book during a read aloud or story time and to help students understand that interrupting is bad manners.

Super cute and funny. ( )

David Ezra Stein's "Interrupting Chicken" is such a fun book that actually made me laugh out loud. Papa reminds chicken not to interrupt him while reading the bedtime story, but chicken can't stop. By reading it in different voices, you can model to children how annoyed Papa was when chicken annoyingly interrupts him. This gives a great lesson of being respectful and helps remind children to make sure not to talk while other's are talking. The book is cute and humourous and meaningful at the same time. ( )
