This is truly a great bedtime story! Papa Chicken attempts to read Little Chicken a bedtime story. However, Little Chicken keeps interrupting and changes the end to each story. Papa Chicken runs out of stories to tell, so Little Chicken creates his own story to tell Papa Chicken.
This is a great story to work on schema (background knowledge). The reader needs to be familiar with the stories of Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood and Chicken Little. Little Chicken changes each of the stories so they have a happy ending. This is a great opportunity for your child to make text- to-text connections. They can compare the original story with the new version of the story Little Chicken creates.
Many children (and adults) can relate to this story. Children are notorious for interrupting stories. You might not think so, but it is really a good thing when children interrupt the story. It shows they are interacting with the text and are comprehending (understanding) the story. Encourage your child to interrupt when you share a story!
Read this story at bedtime!
