Interrupting Chicken Trailer
This is a link to a trailer introducing the book. It's great!
This book is about Little Red Chicken wanting Papa to read her a bedtime story. Every time Papa begins a story, Little Red Chicken interrupts which ends each tale rather abruptly. This is a wonderful story to read children! In my classroom, I will ask my students to think of a well know story such as The Three Little Pigs or Cinderella. I will then ask them to change one thing at the beginning of the story then think about what that change made (cause and effect). I would then ask them to write the story down and illustrate it.
Put this book on your "read" list! It's already a classic !
