But there’s so much to see and learn at the museum! For instance, what feeling does Edvard Munch convey in his painting The Scream?

Will Chicken ever have a chance to express herself? With insight and signature visual humor, David Ezra Stein brings back the Interrupting Chicken in a scenario that kids everywhere will find all-too-frustratingly relatable. David Ezra Stein is the author-illustrator of many picture books, including the Caldecott Honor Book Interrupting Chicken and its sequels; I’m My Own Dog; Ice Boy; and Dinosaur Kisses. He lives with his family in Kew Gardens, New York. Event guidelines: RSVP is highly encouraged but not required. Additional copies of the event book will be available for purchase in-store.
