When the Rooster Crowed

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-- On a cool July morning, Farmer Albert is sleeping soundly. As the bright sun dawns, the animals call him one by one, but he nestles deeper under his covers--promising just ten more minutes, just five more minutes, just one more . . . . His wife, long up and about with their small children, calls him too. Finally, in a great chorus of sounds, the whole farm calls the drowsy Albert to awaken, and the farmer rushes to his morning chores. This lively farm story offers easy participation that's ideal for lap-sit or preschool story times, and the simple plot lends itself to creative drama and easy puppet shows. The illustrations in colored pencil and watercolors are a pleasant accompaniment. Small children are sure to enjoy the amusing art work and the funny animal noises. --Virginia E.
