“Interrupting Chicken” by David Ezra Stein

Nursery Rhyme Makeovers & Cookies in Bed!

Little chicken is wide awake and wants his Papa to wake up, too–and eat cookies together!  Papa desperately wants to get more sleep, and get his little chick to give up on the idea of cookies for breakfast.  As little chick bounces on Papa’s bed, he starts reciting nursery rhymes, but he changes them to include eating cookies.

“There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” and “Hickory, Dickory, Doc,” are a couple nursery rhymes that get hilarious make overs that include cookies.  Eventually, Papa gets up, and gets breakfast for his little chicken, but is it cookies? This fun story of little chick and his Papa takes place on familiar ground. As any parent of a little one knows, once they decide you should get up, they are very persistent.

This over-sized, hard-backed, picture book contains brilliant illustrations that bring even more life to this already high energy book.  Children will love the way little chicken changes nursery rhymes to try to get cookies.  They will definitely identify with being wide awake and trying to get a parent out of bed.  I recommend this five-star book to children four to eight years old.
