A Rooster for a Pet?

Anushka Ravishankar, Emanuele Scanziani 

Come, read about the rooster
The cheeky, saucy rooster
And maybe you will want it for a pet?
(We doubt it.)

A family brings home a sweet baby bird only for it to become a tyrannical rooster who rules the roost.  Written in comic verse by Anushka Ravishankar, and illustrated by Emanuele Scanziani with appropriate hilarity, A Rooster for a Pet? is an unbelievable tale inspired by a true story.

 

The first 50 copies of A Rooster for a Pet come signed by the author. Get yours before it flies off the shelves!
