Description
When it’s homework time, a little red chicken discovers the magic of a story’s “surprise”—and quickly learns that the difference between an elephant and an element can change everything. With playful guidance from her amused papa, she explores how authors build suspense, keep readers curious, and turn everyday learning into imaginative storytelling. Blending humor with gentle instruction, this picture book invites children to think about narrative structure, vocabulary, and the joy of getting the details right. David Ezra Stein’s signature warm, expressive storytelling makes this a delightful read-aloud for budding writers and anyone who loves a good twist.
