(3) K-3 This smooth adaptation of "The Nun's Priest's Tale" from The Canterbury Tales finds the haughty rooster Chanticleer nearly undone by his own vanity when he falls victim to a cunning fox. Chanticleer saves himself by sweet-talking Fox; both learn to "beware of false flattery." Large-scale illustrations feature varied perspectives and rare breeds of farm animals (catalogued at book's end). This is perfect for group sharing.
