Poor cockerel has forgotten how to crow and all the animals are teasing him. But when the fox comes sniffing around, cockerel becomes a hero. This description may be from another edition of this product.
My son is 20 months and is no longer interested in his board books but isn't quite ready for school-age children's books. Cock-a-Moo-Moo is a perfect match for him right now. The plot is easy for him to follow with a little humor that even he understands. There are two versions of this book: an American and a British. The story is the same but a few terms change so check before you buy.
A toddler's delight

As a teacher and mother, I would recommend this book to anyone with young children. My two year old asks for it over and over. It has become a family favorite. The book has a great rhythm and quick paced text. My daughter can't resist mooing and quacking right along with the silly rooster, and I can't resist trying out funny animal voices.
2 - 4 Year Olds Love This BooK!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I read to a group of 28 2 - 4 year olds on a weekly basis as part of a local "Grandpas read to pre-schoolers" program. I stumbled across this book in a search of new kids books at the local library and, quite frankly, thought it would just be filler in my scheduled reading program. To an adult, it is not a particularly impressive little story, no great messages or morals. Little did I know it would turn out to be the most requested book I've read to them this year, with universal appeal to all of my kids - from the brand new 2s to the jaded 4s. I've learned to pause at the appropriate points to build the suspense, then shout out the rooster's mistakes. Watching 28 kids absolutely roaring at this simple story is, well, I won't pretend to explain it, but the kids love this one. I rate it a 5-star based upon audience approval.
