Against all odds, an ailing but determined young farm boy builds a chicken empire ruled by a champion rooster named Tarzan. Freda Fowl, Grandmother Hen, Roger Horse, Hortense Pig, and many other lovable and unforgettable pets among the unique menagerie in ROOSTER TALE tell the story of a day that Tarzan and his rooster sons get their tail feathers in an uproar and a terrible ruckus breaks out in the chicken yard. When some of his baby chicks get hurt in the commotion, the boy gets mad at the roosters, and because he doesn't take time out to cool down, he makes a big mistake that results in dire circumstances for his chicken empire. An inspiring novella for young readers, best-selling author Linda Lee Greene's ROOSTER TALE is adapted from an excerpt of her true-life novel GUARDIANS AND OTHER ANGELS. Greene is also the co-author of the mystery novel JESUS GANDHI OMA MAE ADAMS. The illustrations in ROOSTER TALE are by award-winning artist Edith D. Wadkins.
