Surprise! 在获得凯迪克大奖的《打断别人说话的小鸡》的续集中，小红鸡又回来啦——而且一如既往地可爱和傻傻的。

小红鸡该做家庭作业了，他刚刚了解了每一个好故事应该具备的东西：大大的惊喜。当他们深入一个又一个故事中，寻找让读者们说出“哇，我没想到会是这样”的部分时，鸡爸爸确定他可以让小鸡相信他是对的。毕竟，《丑小鸭》、《长发公主》或《小美人鱼》中绝对没有大惊喜——不是吗？无论是大惊喜还是小惊喜，每个故事里面都有意想不到的东西等着鸡爸爸，但也许也会有惊喜等着小红鸡。

Surprise! The little red chicken is back -- and as endearingly silly as ever -- in David Ezra Stein's follow-up to the Caldecott Honor-winning Interrupting Chicken.

It's homework time for the little red chicken, who has just learned about something every good story should have: an elephant of surprise. Or could it be an element of surprise (as her amused papa explains)? As they dive in to story after story, looking for the part that makes a reader say "Whoa! I didn't know that was going to happen," Papa is sure he can convince Chicken he's right. After all, there are definitely no elephants in "The Ugly Duckling," "Rapunzel," or "The Little Mermaid" -- or are there? Elephant or element, something unexpected awaits Papa in every story, but a surprise may be in store for the little red chicken as well. Full of the same boisterous charm that made Interrupting Chicken so beloved by readers, this gleeful follow-up is sure to delight fans of stories, surprises, and elephants alike.
