"Stein doesn't miss a beat.This essential addition is a snug and hilarious version of quality time and the worthiness of a good argument." -- School Library Journal (starred review) It's bright and early on a Saturday morning, and the little red chicken wants cookies for breakfast. What better way to persuade Papa than by jarring him awake and gleefully interjecting cookies--and herself!--into every nursery rhyme they read together? The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe heartily endorses the little red chicken's plan, but Papa has his own idea for a sweet breakfast for his determined daughter. Featuring the same riotous charm and bright, bold art as the Caldecott Honor Book Interrupting Chicken and Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise , David Ezra Stein's third installment will have any fan with a sweet tooth and a love of meta rhyme clamoring to find out if the early bird will get the cookie.
