Bookroo's summary
Clyde, the new rooster at Sunrise Farm, faces a daunting challenge: replacing the legendary Larry. As the farm animals reminisce about Larry's unforgettable wake-up calls, Clyde's attempts to mimic him fall flat. Desperate to win their approval, Clyde dons a flashy costume and puts on a show. But can he truly succeed by being someone he's not? Discover Clyde's journey to find his own voice and place on the farm.
From the publisher
Clyde is the new rooster at Sunrise Farm. But he’s having trouble fitting in and replacing Larry–the beloved rooster whose wake-up calls were legendary. The cow, the gaggle of hens, and the sheep reminisce about Larry while poor Clyde fails to croon the farmyard awake with the same finesse. Clyde attempts to win over the farm by wearing an elaborate costume and putting on a show like Larry was known to do, but in the end, Clyde realizes that imitating Larry is not the way to succeed.
