Bookroo's summary

On a chaotic farm, Cow embarks on a quest to find the ideal rooster to wake the sleepy animals. But as each candidate tries and fails, Cow learns that being a rooster is about action, not identity. With the farm's harmony at stake, will Cow find a rooster who can rise to the challenge, or will the farm remain in disarray? Join the hilarious search where every animal has a chance, as long as they can crow—or at least make a strong cup of coffee. Discover if the farm can find its morning hero.

From the publisher

The search for the perfect rooster to save a struggling farm from chaos will leave readers howling–and trying out their very best cock-a-doodle-doo! A farm. Bucolic beauty, barns, and…sleepy animals everywhere? This farm needs a rooster, and Cow is determined to find the perfect candidate. One rooster, who wakes up first thing in the morning, with a resounding cock-a-doodle-do–is that too much to ask? YES! This tale of a frenzied farm and the beleaguered cow trying to keep it all together packs more than laughs. As each enthusiastic candidate learns: roostering isn’t what you are, but what you do. And there’s room for everyone. As long as they wake up early–er, I mean brew strong coffee–or is it press the big button?–oh never mind. All are welcome!
