The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet!

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Eugene Yelchin. Deedy's original story has the feel and cadence of a well-told folktale. A repressive new mayor of a noisy village outlaws public singing, then imposes ever-stricter laws. Seven silent years pass before change struts into La Paz in the form of a loud, fearless little rooster. Lively art captures both the story's humor and its more sobering points. Also available in a bilingual edition, with Spanish translation. Review covers these titles: ¡El gallo que no se callaba! / The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet! and The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet!.
