Interrupting Chicken
What's the Story?
INTERRUPTING CHICKEN allows viewers to join Piper, a little red chicken, as she rewrites classic fairy tales, famous mythological stories, and new original tales. Piper is always bursting at the seams during story time at home and in school -- wanting to make unique changes to the stories she hears. From Hercules to Humpty Dumpty, no story is too big or small for Piper to leave her imaginative mark on it. Piper is so engaged in the stories she tells that she eventually jumps into the action to have fun, memorable adventures with the characters.
