Age range: Grades K-3
The Interrupting Chicken is a playful, funny book that children will love! The water colored illustrations are bright and colorful with different shades of red, green, and browns throughout. The story begins with the Papa chicken trying to get the little red chicken to go to bed. The Papa chicken reads many stories to little red chicken such as Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Chicken Little. The little red chicken interrupts each story with his version of the ending to that story. Little red chicken decides to tell Papa a story when they run out of stories. I loved the twist at the end of the book. Children will love the little red chicken and laugh throughout this book! Metafiction is present in this book because there are books within this one book. The little red chicken is playful and offers a twist to the ending of each of these stories so that they can move on to the next one. This book would also provide a great writing project where students could write alternate endings to their favorite fairy tales.
