Cock-a-Moo-Moo

Preview

Rooster has a problem — he’s forgotten how to crow! Instead of “cock-a-doodle-doo,” he’s clucking out “cock-a-moo-moo” and “cock-a-oink-oink,” much to the amusement of the other animals. Embarrassed and unsure, Rooster loses hope until a surprise visit from a sly fox forces him to find his voice and save the day. With playful language and expressive illustrations, this story celebrates self-confidence, resilience, and the joy of being different.

 

Perfect for readers, who:

• Enjoy silly animal stories with sound-based humor
