Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein

 

I have to confess I read this book to my fourth graders just for fun.  I did have them predict what would happen as we went along.  I pointed out the story structure had three bedtime stories that the father read to the child.  Many fairy tales and folktales have a pattern of three (three bears, three pigs, three goats, three wishes, etc.), and we had just studied the genre.

Interrupting Chicken is fun to read aloud...and isn't reading supposed to be fun?
