Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise ISBN: 9781406383072

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 learnt 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?
