This is one of my favourite books to read with a bunch of kids. We all have a ball joining in with Kip the rooster as he 'Cock-a-doodle-doos'. Poor Kip can't please anyone as each day a new neighbour complains about the noise. I love the repetitive style of writing and also how it introduces children to the days of the week. Lots of fun!

Everyone knows roosters can be noisy so when Kip the rooster crows very loudly at various times throughout the day, Kip's neighbours are not too happy and his owner Mrs Bea sets out to find a solution to the problem of noisy Kip.
Suitable for ages 3 - 103 as the bold illustrations add a touch of hilarity that will appeal to the adult sense of humour. This book has been nominated for a 2010 Children's Book of the Year Award in the Early Childhood category.

Kip is a fluffy hatchling. Mrs Bea knows he's special.
With the turn of a page, Kip has grown up. And with a shake of his collar and a puff of his chest, he makes a noise to match: Cock-a-doodle-do.
Mr James lets Mrs Bea know that it's not acceptable so early in the morning.
So next day, Kip waits until it's morning tea and, with a shake of his collar and a puff of his chest, lets out an even bigger cock-a-dooooooooodle-do.
Little Lucy and her grandma tell Mrs Bea how the noise ruined their quiet cuppa.
So next day, Kip waits and waits until it's lunch time and,with a shake of his collar and a puff of his chest, lets out an even biggerer cock-a-doooooooooooooooooodle-do.
One by one, the neighbours complain. How will Mrs Bea solve the problem of Kip's crowing and keeping peace with her friends?

A bright and colourful book for the preschool set. Kip the neighbourhood rooster makes quite a racket every morning, upsetting all the neighbours. Lots of chance to have fun with cockadoodledooing with the youngsters.
