Fairy tales with a bedtime twist

A bedtime reading session becomes a playful exchange between a little red chicken and Papa. As familiar tales such as “Hansel and Gretel” and “Little Red Riding Hood” unfold, the chicken jumps in to help their characters; later, the storytelling turns to her, with Papa listening as sleepiness sets in. The abridged board-book edition brings together fairy-tale references, interruptions, and the familiar back-and-forth of a parent and child sharing a bedtime story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families seeking a board-book bedtime read-aloud.
  • Children interested in familiar fairy tales and playful storytelling.
  • Readers looking for a story about sharing a book between a child and parent.

Book overview

A New York Times bestseller!

"The delivery is Catskill perfect; readers will fall hard for the antics of this hapless pair." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It's time for the little red chicken's bedtime story -- and a reminder from Papa to try not to interrupt. But the chicken can't help herself! Whether the tale is "Hansel and Gretel" or "Little Red Riding Hood" or even "Chicken Little," she jumps into the story to save its hapless characters. When it's the little red chicken's turn to tell a story, will her yawning papa make it to the end without his own kind of interrupting? The charming 2011 Caldecott Honor Book is available in an abridged board book edition for the first time.
