Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise ISBN: 9781406378061

Little Chicken has learnt what every good story should have ... an Elephant of surprise! Surprise! The little red chicken is back in David Ezra Steins follow-up to the Caldecott Honor Book Interrupting Chicken. Its homework time for the little red chicken, who has just learned what every good story should have: an elephant of surprise. Or is it, as her papa suggests, an element of surprise? As they dive into some stories -looking for the parts that make you go "Whoa! I didnt know that was going to happen!" - Papa is sure he can convince Chicken hes right. After all, there are no elephants in The Ugly Duckling, Rapunzel or The Little Mermaid... Or are there?
