Barnyard animals learn a lesson about manners and passing judgments in this moral tale drawn from Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories. -Booklist Review
When the barnyard animals are invited to a party by their neighbors, they dress in their Sunday best and tripped for a day of merriment. But when dinnertime arrives, the famished animals are perplexed to find a simple meal of cornbread. Most of them are polite but Rooster turns his beak up in disgust and rudely leaves the party, missing the treasures hidden for the guests. The surprising twist by the end of the storyplot explains why, ever since, Rooster scratches in the dirt. Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss capture the rhythms and idioms of the rural Southern tale, and Don Tate's whimsical acrylics serve up a normal hoedown of fun. This barnyard story teaches readers about sharing, caring and fairness.
