Illustrated by
Lee White.
The Macintosh family's prize-winning rooster, Brewster, begins to crow at odd times of the day, disrupting their activities. Everyone's stumped until little Julie realizes that Brewster needs glasses. There's a lot of build-up, but the solution is abrupt and the rhymed text doesn't always scan. Sunny and busy caricature illustrations display unexpected angles and varied perspectives.
