ACrowofHisOwn1.jpgOpening: When Larry was called off to new opportunities, Sunrise Farm suddenly found itself without its prized rooster. The animals overslept and no one knew what to do.
Summary: (from my library catalog) Clyde the rooster is a little scrawny, so he is having a hard time trying to measure up to his predecessor on the farm–but with a little help from a friendly goose he may find a crow of his own.

 

ACrowofHisOwn2Why I like this book: These farm animals have such character! The text is smart, creative and engaging, and there is so much to read in the illustrations. Clyde is a new favorite protagonist!

ACrowofHisOwn4.jpgResources/Activities: discuss the responsibilities of classmates, or family members, and what would be missed if any one person were away.
