Interrupting Chicken Raises Her Wing: (Funny School Read Aloud Children's Picture Book About Raising Your Hand, Classroom Behavior, and Museums for Kids Ages 4-8)

Will Mr. Popperman ever call on the little red chicken? She knows the answers! A beloved, ever-excitable character can’t help but be in the frame when Caldecott Honoree David Ezra Stein leads a class trip to the museum.

The little red chicken’s class is going to the art museum today, and their teacher, Mr. Popperman, is cautioning them to be on their best behavior. This means raising their wing when they want to say something and not calling out. But there’s so much to see and learn at the museum! For instance, what feeling does Edvard Munch convey in his painting The Scream? What animal would you add if you were the painter of The Peaceable Kingdom? Chicken knows all the answers, but amazingly, she’s never called on, even when she calls out, raises her wing (while calling out), or jumps around moaning (but not calling out). Will Chicken ever have a chance to express herself? With insight and signature visual humor, David Ezra Stein brings back the Interrupting Chicken in a scenario that kids everywhere will find all-too-frustratingly relatable.
