Booklist - 06/01/2024 What’s a farm to do when its rooster has let his hobbies get in the way of rousing the farm? Look for a new candidate, of course. Unfortunately for the very professional cow and sheep at the heart of this story, their rooster candidates are rarely interested in waking up the other animals with the traditional cock-a-doodle-doo (and are actually rarely roosters at all). Frustration over finding the right candidate almost boils over, until the animals are taught that unconventional methods of completing a task, combined with teamwork, can provide exactly what they’re looking for, even if it does come about in an unexpected way. The illustrations of the farm and its inhabitants are colorful and charming (particularly the semiopaque, completely adorable blob), and adults who think they've heard every possible iteration of a farm tale will be pleasantly surprised with this unique look at what it takes to keep a ranch running. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
