Bob the rooster learns a variety of animal noises before discovering how to crow properly. When a fox threatens the hen house one night, however, Bob's loud "cock-a-doodle-do!" doesn't work: he must use all the animal sounds he knows to frighten the fox away. Pearson's spirited illustrations for her funny tale give Bob a distinctive, enthusiastic personality. Storytime audiences will crow over this one.
