Praise

“A rooster encounters on-the-job stress. […] Farmer Tony presents Ronnie, the new rooster, to an assembly of cheerful animals. Though Ronnie’s friendly and eager to join the farm, his timing is off. He crows during dinner but is silent early the next morning, and the other animals sleep in. “WRONG TIME, ROOSTER!” […] Though Parkin covers familiar ground, the narrative flows well, and vulnerable, angsty Ronnie will soften hearts. An especially endearing image depicts him nervously holding a cup of coffee, surrounded by ticking clocks, as the light-skinned, white-haired Farmer Tony approaches. Chunky illustrations that rely on pleasant primary colors match warm, playful text. Opportunities for call and response abound with the refrains “Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!” and “WRONG TIME, ROOSTER!” Make time for this giggle-worthy barnyard tale.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Parkin’s delightful story is filled to the brim with vibrant and hilarious illustrations, perfect for sparking young imaginations.” – Andrew J Ross

“A fun and charming way to learn to tell the time!” – Mariajo Ilustrajo, Flooded
