Loved it! 😍
"Roofus the Rooster Shouted Cock-a-doodle-do All Day Long" is a wonderful book with humorous illustrations and predictable text.
Such a cute story! It’s repetitive enough for new readers, so they’ll feel successful from the get-go. Younger kids will love the story and the sounds. The illustrations are adorable!
Roofus the Rooster Shouted Cock-A-Doodle-Do All Day Long is a silly storybook encouraging viewer participation.
If you live on a farm or have visited one, you know that some animals are very vocal. Roosters, for instance, love to greet the day, but their cock-a-doodle-doos do not stop when the sun is at its highest point. Like in real life, the rooster in the story shouted hello at first light and several other points in the day.
First, the rooster woke the farmer, who told the bird, "Shhh!" Then, it moved to the fenced-in area where the rooster's bellowing hello scared four horses. The rooster also startled several birds on a electrical line and annoyed a fluffy white cat. The rooster visited other animals, each having similar facial expressions to the loud cock-a doodle-doo. While the rooster didn't think twice about his loud vocals, others did not appreciate his loud squawking.
Readers will see a reaction written in bold, colorful letters at each pitstop. These reactions will repeat, in order, at the next location. For example, when the farmer said, "Shhh," the word was repeated on stop two under the new sound: "Bang clang, shhh." The story structure promotes child involvement, prediction, and memorization. The simple, repetitive text makes this story perfect for beginning readers.
Roofus the Rooster Shouted Cock-A-Doodle-Do All Day Long is a wonderful book with humorous illustrations and predictable text. Parents and educators can use the book to teach toddlers their animal names or sounds. It can used as a starter book for young readers.
Adult readers might notice the drawings looked pixelated. Children six years and younger will not notice or care about the graininess. The text was crystal clear, though!
I recommend Roofus the Rooster Shouted Cock-A-Doodle-Do All Day Long to babies-first grade.
