Description

This picture book brings a light touch and engaging silliness to the story of a prince who rejects the lavish luxury of his upbringing in favour of a life as...a rooster. The only person who can persuade the prince to reconsider is neither a doctor nor a magician but a wise teacher who is willing to become a rooster too. Told to the author by her grandmother, who brought it from Eastern Europe a century ago, this traditional tale is accompanied by strikingly witty and graceful illustrations that add their own folkloric flavour.

Review quote

"Her [Stampler] witty, dialogue-based storytelling nicely dramatizes such concepts as excess, sufficiency, and the relationship between learning compassion and attaining 'moral authority.'"--"Horn Book

""Yelchin's self-satiric figures pitch exaggeratedly forward, the rooster postures comically extreme. Stampler' touching note demonstrates this layered tale' openness to multiple interpretations."--"Kirkus", starred review

Our customer reviews

This is a lovely book with great illustrations! Very funny and also very interesting. Although the pictures include naked people, this is done very tastefully and will not cause offence. My whole family liked this book.show more
