Rooster lost his crow

About the Book

A gripping story about faithful old Rooster, the champion cock of Limerick, who suddenly can't crow any more. This causes problems to everyone living on the farm. Farmer has no other choice but to send Rooster to stay with Aunt Hannah in town. From Aunt Lettie on the neighbouring farm, he buys Neville, a young show-off cockerel, who has to follow in the footsteps of Rooster on the farm. He only succeeds in doing this with the help of the head hen, Sarah. An enjoyable book for the young ones, even though the older person can just as well identify with the story.

About the Author

This book is the first from the pen of Isak Vosloo from Vryburg, the cattle region in South Africa, in his Children's Book Series: "Uncle Vossie's Tales". Having grown up on a farm, and later being a farmer himself and also an animal scientist, led to his developing a very special love for and an exceptional knowledge of animals. Therefore it is not surprising that this knowledge is ascribed to the main characters in his books. He knows the value of reading, the pleasure and knowledge that can be obtained by reading, therefore he wants to encourage children to read as much as possible.
