Each night just before bed, Papa reads Little Red Chicken a bedtime story. 'You're not going to interrupt the story tonight, are you?' 'Oh no, Papa. I'll be good.' But just as the story gets going and it looks as if there might be some trouble ahead, Little Red just can't help herself. She jumps into the story and finishes it swiftly saving the characters. Then, filled with excitement, she needs another story to settle her down before going to sleep. Can Papa come up with a solution that will get Little Red Chicken to listen to a whole story and go to sleep?
