Just a few of the lovely reviews of the book to whet your appetite!:

‘Throughout, the bouncy, rhyming text is matched in tone by bright, cartoon illustrations that amplify humor around the message. An effective, funny picture-book paean to individuality.’  Kirkus Reviews

‘Flamboyant and unique, Rooster is a fabulous character whose individuality is to be applauded. Reminding us all that is it great to be different from others and have different tastes, this story makes an excellent starting point for discussions, both in class and out, about valuing this in ourselves- and respecting it in others.‘  North Somerset Teacher’s Book Award

‘This is a lovely picture book that cheerfully smashes gender stereotypes.  What a delightful protagonist Rooster is, and what important messages his return to confidence and pride gives, in particular that there is nothing wrong in being different; that everyone can be special in their own way.  

The rhyming text is funny and clever, and begs to be read aloud.  The illustrations are wonderfully colourful and exuberant and complement the words perfectly.  Highly recommended for nurseries, classrooms and libraries and for family use.’   Armadillo Magazine
