This story tells of a Rooster who wakes up early to go to his uncle's wedding. He shines his beak and heads out on his way. But he forgot to eat breakfast and begins to get very hungry. He sees a kernel of corn sitting in a puddle of mud. He debates weather or not to eat it, but his hunger wins out. He eats the kernel and gets his beak all muddy. He looks around for someone to help him. He continually asks everyone around him to help, and they refuse, until one friend is nice enough to help him.
This is another paperback plus book that contains other resources at the end of the story. It has a guide to different kinds of roosters, a song in English and in Spanish called Oh, The colors (De Colores), and the poem, Chanticleer by John Farrar. These are great little resources to use in the classroom. Not only for reading but to help teach features of informational texts. There is a table of contents and titles and subtitles throughout the book.
