PreS-Gr 2âIt's dawn. Mel, the farm's resident rooster, breaks loose with a raucous scat improvisation worthy of the local WFRM microphone. It's also time for a morning wake-up, and the volume (and large font) of the lyrics literally tosses residents from their beds. There's an issue hereâanything but a simple "cock-a-doodle-doo" just won't wake the Sun, and unfortunately this rooster is bored with "doing that same old number every morning for years." The young farmer and Cow react with alarm, rooster provides another inspired rise-and-shine rendition, and the result is the sameâNO Sun. Neither trumpet solo nor rap budge the moon, but Cow's final offering of a "Cow-ca-doodle-MOO" has just the right sound to invite the morning rays. Boldly painted cartoon art enhances the sleepy concern of farm residents as night finally turns into day. Font and text color change with dialogue of the characters and the ear-splitting onomatopoeia of the rooster's wake-up cries. Each page varies with smaller scenes, spreads, and tiny details to challenge observant readers. VERDICT Storytime will never be the same with this delightful routine breaker.âMary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TX
