(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Salerno. After ingesting an odd blue seed, a rooster sprouts a blue feather in the middle of his forehead, causing him to feel special enough to proclaim himself "boss of the barnyard." Retro-style illustrations contain bold lines and striking colors, with some decorative silver foil tossed in, in this animated tale, which moves from farm to circus as the animals seek a horse reputed to sport not one, but two blue feathers.
