From the publisher

A hilarious tale of self-acceptance, resilience and the joy of standing out! “What’s not to love? Are they being sarcastic? These jeans are amazing; my butt looks fantastic!” Rooster is thrilled when his new skinny jeans arrive in the mail. Eager to show them off to his friends, he soon learns that not everyone is so accepting of his new look. Feeling disheartened, Rooster hides away from the other animals’ cruel words. However, when he catches a glace of himself in the jeans, his confidence in his appearance grows. Can Rooster prove his farmyard friends wrong and teach them the power of self-acceptance? Rooster Wore Skinny Jeans is a fantastic, funny rhyming book for 3 - 5 year olds. It teaches vital lessons about the effect of unkind words on others and the power of self-confidence. A must-have for any pre-school bookshelf!
