Let the sun (er, fun) begin!!

I love the book, simply yet lovely. The art work is so glorious, in all of its color, and really fits the folklore them, makes me feel I am in that particular country. It is a great tale to read to children, short yet sweet.

A Wonderful Tale

As a teacher I love folk tales. This one if one of my favorites. The story is about a rooster who is on his way to his uncle's wedding. He is dresses in his finest until he gets his beak dirty. Children will love the event series as one event leads into another. The pictures are very beautiful and colorful. This is a story that children of all ages will want to read again and again

A great sequencing activity story

A great humorus book. All children would understand the logic behind the events that occur. To hear all of the characters say "No I won't. Why should I", Gave the book a good sense of childish humor. Makes a great sequencing activity for students.
