"A follow-up to the Caldecott Honor-winning Interrupting Chicken finds the plucky little red chicken concluding that an ""elephant of surprise"" is needed for any good story, until his Papa recommends classic tales that are surprising without elephants." - Baker & Taylor
When Little Red Chicken comes home excited about what she learned in school, she explains to Papa that every story has "an elephant of surprise." - Random House, Inc.
Surprise! The little red chicken is back â and as endearingly silly as ever â in David Ezra Steinâs follow-up to the Caldecott Honorâwinning Interrupting Chicken.
Itâs 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 âWhoa! I didnât know that was going to happen,â Papa is sure he can convince Chicken heâs right. After all, there are definitely no elephants in âThe Ugly Duckling,â âRapunzel,â or âThe Little Mermaidâ â 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 readers, this gleeful follow-up is sure to delight fans of stories, surprises, and elephants alike. - Random House, Inc.
