David Ezra Stein earned the Caldecott Honor Award for Interupting Chicken (Candlewick, 2010) and it was most deserving. Stein tells the story of the little red chicken listening to a bedtime story told by his Papa but everytime they get to the good part, the little red chicken can't control himself and interupts the story. Finally Papa tells the little red chicken, to tell him a story instead. While listening to the story Papa falls asleep and interupts the story with his snoring. This book also represents an example of a meta-fiction book, with the book characters talking about the stories included. This book is a great read-aloud for K - 2nd grade, I had so much fun with changing my voice to share this story. It lends itself perfect for a great bed-time story as well.
