Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise by David Ezra Stein

Sequel to Interrupting Chicken

That little red interrupting chicken is back along with her long-suffering papa. This time her interruptions include elephants. Haven't you heard of the elephant of surprise?

Thoughts: Too funny! I'd forgotten how much I liked the little red chicken. I am now planning to share both books with first and second graders in May. Funny book are always a hit with those grades. I love that the little red chicken is impossible to convince that she misheard her teacher. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and fun.
