    The search for the perfect rooster to save a struggling farm from chaos will leave readers howling—and trying out their very best cock-a-doodle-doo!

    A farm.

    Bucolic beauty, barns, and...sleepy animals everywhere?

    This farm needs a rooster, and Cow is determined to find the perfect candidate.

    One rooster, who wakes up first thing in the morning, with a resounding cock-a-doodle-do—is that too much to ask?

    YES!

    This tale of a frenzied farm and the beleaguered cow trying to keep it all together packs more than laughs. As each enthusiastic candidate learns: roostering isn’t what you are, but what you do. And there’s room for everyone. 

    As long as they wake up early—er, I mean brew strong coffee—or is it press the big button?—oh never mind. All are welcome!
