{"product_id":"interrupting-chicken-saves-the-nutcracker","title":"Interrupting Chicken Saves the Nutcracker","description":"\"Stein’s metafictive narrative is sidesplittingly funny, capturing with aplomb young children’s endearingly exasperating tendency to speak up when it’s least convenient.\" —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)\n\nAt her first ballet ever, can an excitable little Chicken resist helping the story along? Fans will cheer as their favorite interrupter puts her spin on a beloved holiday classic.\n\n“Hi, Clara! Like my tutu?”\n“Ahem,” said the narrator.\n“Chicken!” said Papa. “You can’t go onstage!”\n\nIt’s winter vacation for the little red chicken and, with promises of best behavior, she’s on her way to see The Nutcracker with Papa. She can’t wait! In fact, she’s soexcited that Papa is worried she might get a little carried away . . . Take your seats and get ready to giggle as a certain irrepressible audience member dances onstage at key moments, determined to save the nutcracker from that bully Fritz and the sword-wielding Mouse King. But what happens when a revered classic has its storyline turned on its head? In this special holiday tale for loyal followers and new fans alike, David Ezra Stein moves the meta from page to stage as Chicken gleefully breaks the fourth wall.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1536207799\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1536207799.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stein, David Ezra\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
