The useful part

He breathes in and out, welcomes the audience, starts with a joke and when the big moment arrives… This book is for all kids who love a bit of silliness. Everyone knows the line that must be said and kids will be calling it out at every opportunity. It's a quick read but one that will make kids laugh out loud, especially when they get to yell out POO!

How it works

Kids will love the repetition and the suspense, however the real standout for me are the illustrations.
The star of his own show, Rocky has one line to get right.
Like several other books available today Tanya Hennessy has managed to get one joke to fill 32 pages.
His cartoon style is perfectly suited for the over the top, over acting, highly emotional, attention seeking rooster who obviously believes that he was born to be a star.
The background characters are all perfectly understated with his fat chickens and confused cows being a personal favourites.

Details worth keeping

Shiloh Gordon has done a fantastic job bringing Rocky to life. Shiloh's compositions and colour choices must also be commended.
