PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
David Ezra Stein is the author-illustrator of many picture books, including Leaves, winner of an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award; Interrupting Chicken, a Caldecott Honor Book; and Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise. He lives in Kew Gardens, New York.
Comedic timing, characters' faces, and Chicken's persistence are a master class in interruption; Stein doesn't miss a beat. . . . Logic-defying retorts aside, this essential addition is a snug and hilarious version of quality time and the worthiness of a good argument. -School Library Journal (starred review) A sweet and silly read for any time of day. -Kirkus Reviews The 'Interrupting Chicken' books won't lull any child to sleep-the pace is too jangly and jumpy for that-but they do tend to delight 4- to 8-year-olds, especially those with a tendency to butt in. -The Wall Street Journal This latest installment of the interrupting chicken saga is, like the rest, hilarious, vibrantly illustrated and witty. -The Virginian-Pilot
