Welcome to Litsy!

This book will be very useful in the beginning of the year as a lesson to help younger students learn the importance of raising their hand and not shouting out. I also think the teacher can get very creative with lesson planning to help get the point across.

“You interrupted the story. Try not to get so involved.“ “I'm sorry, Papa. But she really was a witch.“

There are so many cute and fun activities you could do with this book within a classroom to encourage hand raising/keeping your idea to yourself until you are called upon.

Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein is a Caldecott award winner. This story follows a rooster and his chick reading bedtime stories, but the chicken cannot stop interrupting and warning the rooster about possible dangerous situations.

“Out jumped a little red chicken, and she said, 'DON'T GO IN! SHE'S A WITCH!' SO Hansel and Gretel didn't. THE END!“

I could use this book in my classroom to demonstrate the importance of listening and patience, which can spark discussions about classroom behavior and self-regulation. It also makes an enjoyable read because of the humor and visual appeal of the illustrations.

This book is a picture book that was published in 2010 and it belongs in the humorous fiction genre. It was also a Caldecott Honor book. This story follows a little red chicken who constantly interrupts her Papa's bedtime stories, eager to save the characters from danger before the story ends.
