Third Grade Reviewers at The Potomac School

Third graders enjoyed this silly story of a rooster who doesn't [...]-a-doodle-doo and the henhouse supervisor who demands that he does. Add to this humorous plot, comical accessories for the chicken characters and you have a winner! When Ned, the "mixed-up" rooster, sleeps in again, head hen, Daisy Mae, fires him. His ever-ready replacement arrives, and all hopes of being re-hired seem lost...until nightfall. The satisfying conclusion of this tale of workplace woes caused one young audience member to comment that "everyone deserves a second chance." Our eight and [...] reviewers recommend this title as a readaloud for grades K and 1 and an independent read for 2nd and 3rd graders.
