“Interrupting Chicken Saves the Nutcracker,” by David Ezra Stein

Unlike Any Nutcracker Performance You’ve Seen

Chicken goes to see The Nutcracker, but can’t help herself, and keeps interrupting the performance by jumping on the stage.  Each time she does it bring hilarious results.

First, she does it to show Clara her tutu. Next, she does it to save the nutcracker from Fritz.  Finally, she interrupts to break up the fight between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker—and that causes them to be kicked out.

But without Chicken, the show can’t go on.  She saves the day with even more crazy, funny results.

Children will love this story, it is very funny, and they just might see themselves in some of the things chicken does.  If you are familiar with The Nutcracker, you will laugh even more.  Her poor Papa is beside himself.

The back of the book features Chicken’s Nutcracker Game, it too, is hilarious! 

Children ages three through eight will enjoy this book.
