In this retelling of a Hungarian folktale, Little Rooster finds a diamond button, which is quickly taken by a greedy king. As Little Rooster tries to get it back, the king doles out punishments, which Little Rooster foils by means of his conveniently magical stomach. The textured acrylic illustrations depict startlingly pop-eyed characters.
