Rooster Can't Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

Rooster Can't Cock-a-Doodle-Doo is a story about a rooster who wakes up one morning with a sore throat and can't wake the farmer so he enlists the help of the other farm animals. The story is funny and entertaining. The illustrations are wonderful and hilarious. The moral of the story is teamwork. Great story for young readers and one parents will enjoy reading to pre-schoolers. The story is excellent enough to be made into a cartoon. Highly recommend.

Bought as a baby shower gift for a Mom who loves Roosters. She absolutely loved it, illustrations were hysterical.

Rostoker-Gruber's collection of smart, cooperative barnyard animals is both clever and funny. Each group of animals displays an distinctive, and often appropriate, personality type, especially when faced with the challenge of completing a list of chores after Farmer Ted oversleeps due to Rooster's lack of "cockadoodledoo." The story moves at a quick pace, and the illustrations complement the author's sense of humor. This book will charm kids and make parents laugh, all while showing that if there is cooperation, a bad day can often turn out quite well.

A most delightful book and teaches an important lesson about everyone being a very important "cog in the wheel" and the value of helping each other out in times of need. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is captivating to a variety of ages in children - adults, too. Fun to read to little people.
