description: Surprise! The little red chicken is back -- and as endearingly silly as ever -- in David Ezra Stein's follow-up to the Caldecott Honor-winning Interrupting Chicken.It's homework time for the little red chicken who has just learned about something every good story should have: an elephant of surprise. Or could it be an element of surprise (as her amused papa explains)? As they dive in to story after story looking for the part that makes a reader say Whoa! I didn't know that was going to happen Papa is sure he can convince Chicken he's right. After all there are definitely no elephants in The Ugly Duckling Rapunzel or The Little Mermaid -- or are there? Elephant or element something unexpected awaits Papa in every story but a surprise may be in store for the little red chicken as well. Full of the same boisterous charm that made Interrupting Chicken so beloved by readers this gleeful follow-up is sure to delight fans of stories surprises and elephants alike.
