Cock-a-Doodle-Doo-Bop!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Myers. "What happened to 'cock-a-doodle-doo'?" a farm boy asks rooster Mel, who "just wasn't feeling" the old routine. Problem is, the sun won't rise without a proper doodling. The all-dialogue story cries out to be performed: some verve gets lost on the page. But the moonlit illustrations carry the humor, especially the wordless scenes showing the characters in action--and inaction.
