Book Description
Elvis is a proud rooster. After all, his crows make the sun come up and wake the world. At least they did until the terrible morning that he swallowed a bug and the sun came up without him. Poor Elvis! Is he all washed-up? Is it over? Should he give up and simply pass on to the great chicken coop in the sky? Not if the chickens - Daniela, Gina, and Lia - can help it!
The popular rooster from Denys Cazet's Minnie and Moo books proudly takes center stage in his first zany adventure.
Publishers Weekly
Centering on the engaging rooster friend to Cazet's Minnie and Moo, this new I Can Read book handily showcases the author's snappy humor, which permeates both narrative and pictures. When a bug flies into Elvis's mouth just as he prepares to proud[ly] wake the world, his gasping prevents him from crowing and the sun rises without his welcome. Worthless.... I might as well be a cow, moans the frustrated fellow (luckily, his bovine buddies remain out of earshot; they make no appearance in this book). After his feathered friends tuck him into bed in the chicken coop, Elvis asks, What good is living if you're not a rooster anymore? and melodramatically bids farewell. His pals' plan to help Elvis recover his pluck misfires with hilarious yet ultimately successful consequences. The entertaining supporting cast of beaked characters includes a trio of bickering hens who engage in comical wordplay (He's lost his pluck Cluck?... He's lost his cluck? Pluck!... Pluck! Duck?... You're giving my job to a duck? Elvis chimes in) and the benignly thug-like, sunglasses-sporting Little Willie and Rocky, who mastermind and execute the scheme. Packing plenty of pluck and cluck, and careening from the slapstick to the droll, Cazet's tale will tickle novices as well as established readers.
School Library Journal
This amusing beginning chapter book features the rooster from Cazet's "Minnie and Moo" series (HarperCollins). As Elvis sees the first light in the east, he prepares to "lift the sun" with his voice, but a bug flies into his mouth at just the wrong moment and prevents him from crowing. When he realizes that the day has begun without him, he is so shocked that he faints. Later, his friends find him and put him to bed in the chicken coop. Feeling as though life is no longer worth living, he melodramatically begins to bid his farewells. After some funny bantering about Elvis losing his pluck ("He's lost his cluck?"), his friends devise a plan to restore his confidence. Cazet's writing is filled with quirky characters, simple wordplay, and gentle humor. The cartoon artwork perfectly reflects the tone of the text. Elvis appears in profile on the cover, spraying his throat as he prepares to sing, and the shape of the comb on his head brings to mind the trademark hairstyle of his namesake. Young readers will root for this rooster as he tries to find the will to pull himself together and do his job.
Kirkus Reviews
The tender male ego gets another bruising in this spin-off from Cazet's popular "Minnie and Moo" readers. Elvis the rooster is about to crow the sun up as usual when a bug flies into his mouth, and he sees the sun rise without his help. Much later, dapper Little Willie's beefy (well, goosey, to be precise) sidekick, Rocky, finds him swooning on the barn roof, and hauls him down to a sickbed in the coop, from which he proclaims his imminent demise due to uselessness. "I might as well be a cow." With help from other barnyard residents, Little Willie gets Elvis back up onto the roof for another try, only to see him inhale another bug at just the wrong moment. Happily, Henrietta Hen is standing by to deliver a quick Heimlich maneuver, saving the day (so to speak), and allowing Elvis to regain his "pluck." Small but finely detailed scenes of barnyard fowl, some adorned with cool-looking shades, add an extra layer of daffiness to this droll episode; fans of the series, and younger readers in general, will applaud as Elvis takes center stage.
