Rooster-a-doodle-doo!

A nursery rhyme from The Nursery Rhyme Book, edited by Andrew Lang

This reader is based on the nursery rhyme 'Rooster-a-doodle-doo!' from The Nursery Rhyme Book, edited by Andrew Lang and illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke, first published in 1897. The rhyme celebrates the rooster who wakes the farm each morning with his proud call. Nursery rhymes like this one help young children notice patterns in language, remember simple stories, and appreciate the rhythm of everyday life on a farm. This reader expands the rhyme into a full narrative so a child can picture the scene and feel the pride of Rooster Robin doing his important job. This text reflects its era.
