Bookroo's summary

Bob the rooster, tired of clucking, embarks on a quest to discover his true crow. Guided by a cat's pep talk, he encounters various animals, learning their sounds but not his own. As dawn approaches, a fox threatens the henhouse, and Bob must find his voice to protect his friends. Will his newfound crow be enough to save the day? This lively tale of self-discovery and courage will captivate young readers, leaving them eager to see if Bob can rise to the challenge.

From the publisher

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.
