Book Overview
A rooster learns his sound(s) Inspired by a pep talk from a cat, a rooster named Bob who's been spending his days merely clucking and never crowing flies the coop to find his true voice. Along the way, he meets many animals who teach him their sounds - but unfortunately not the one he's looking for. Away from the farm all night long, Bob is greeted early in the morning by just the right noise. It's dark by the time he gets back to the henhouse, and when a dangerous fox intrudes, Bob has an urgent reason to try his new crow before daybreak - but "cock-a-doodle-do" alone may not be enough to do the trick. The tongue-in-cheek text and lively pictures will make this book a perfect story-time selection.

Bob the Rooster book rocks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
my daughter loves this book - and it is so well illustrated, written and funny even for adults
Great Toddler Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
We found this book in a library visiting the grandparents, and my three-year old loved it! He thought it was hilariously funny, and we read it many many times before it was time to go home. He keeps asking about it, and now we may have to get our own copy. And I agree with previous reviewer that it is not one of those books that you dread reading over and over again. It is a cute book with nice illustrations, and with a good message as well.
A book for all ages

Our 7 month old loves this book. She loves hearing us make the animal sounds, especially the owl's "whoo, whoo, whoo". I suspect this will be a favorite in our house for a long time.
3 year old laughs out loud

This one makes my three year old giggle out loud. It's a cute story, with cute pictures. It's definitely a keeper. She asks me to read it almost every night, and it's a good enough read that I don't cringe when she pulls it out for the 8 millionth time.
A Must Have for all Rooster Lovers!

We have been reading this book to my 3 year old for at least a year...my mom has it at her house for him, AND he still grabs it every time we visit the library and he happens to catch it in the corner of his eye! It's a great story too about try and try again until you get it right - some times it is not easy to find what you are looking for AND of tolerance towards those that are different than yourself! Everyone (every animal...) has something to teach if you take the time to listen! Also...Bob is an interesting rooster who uses his learnings...although a little unusual...to save the day & brighten it in the mean time too!
