I think this sequel is even funnier than the original. Maybe because I love cookies?

Here's the thing. I know this book is WAY above Audrey's comprehension right now. My girl sees black and white and some primary colors. She hasn't even said her first word yet--yet alone understanding what "interrupting" means. BUT my husband outright laughed at this and so, I had to give it 5 stars.

It follows the previous format that was the award winning title, "Interrupting Chicken." Only Scott didn't know that. So when Chicken started interrupting nursery rhymes to make up their own about cookies (and having them for breakfast), Scott wanted to keep reading. Audrey probably had no idea why we were laughing but there you go. ( )

In the third Interrupting Chicken book, the little red chicken makes a strong case for cookies for breakfast. Papa holds firm - cookies are only for dessert or snack - but says they can have cakes for breakfast - pancakes!

My favorite part is the little red chicken bursting out of a grandfather clock, declaring that when you keep cookies in a clock, it's always cookie time!

Nursery Rhyme Makeovers & Cookies in Bed!

Little chicken is wide awake and wants his Papa to wake up, too--and eat cookies together! Papa desperately wants to get more sleep, and get his little chick to give up on the idea of cookies for breakfast. As little chick bounces on Papa’s bed, he starts reciting nursery rhymes, but he changes them to include eating cookies.

“There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” and “Hickory, Dickory, Doc,” are a couple nursery rhymes that get hilarious make overs that include cookies. Eventually, Papa gets up, and gets breakfast for his little chicken, but is it cookies?

This fun story of little chick and his Papa takes place on familiar ground. As any parent of a little one knows, once they decide you should get up, they are very persistent.

This over-sized, hard-backed, picture book contains brilliant illustrations that bring even more life to this already high energy book. Children will love the way little chicken changes nursery rhymes to try to get cookies. They will definitely identify with being wide awake and trying to get a parent out of bed. I recommend this five-star book to children four to eight years old.
