Editorial Reviews

Review

"As in her prizewinning light verse for 1 Zany Zoo (illustrated by Colin Jack, 2010), the author displays a gift for rhymes and language that is clever rather than forced." -Kirkus Reviews

In this humorous early reader-style story, farm animals try in vain to rouse Farmer McPeeper from sleep after Rooster takes off for a week at the beach. . . Degman's rhymes have the structure and bounce of limericks, and are sprinkled with barnyard puns and hybrid animal rooster crows that readers will be itching to try out themselves. Zemke's cartoons nail the wide-eyed, dumbfounded look of the animals as they scramble to fill the rooster's shoes. A final twist ends this peppy and fun story on a high note.
--Publishers Weekly

Cock-a-Doodle Oops! had me laughing starting with page one. Those reading will enjoy all the opportunities to sound like a cow, or a mule, or a sheep. Storybook hour will explode with laughter. Just getting through the week of substitute morning calls will delight the children. There is an unexpected twist, or rather, a double-twist! I know young children will love Cock-a-Doodle Oops! The fresh story has a cartoon flare and the illustrator makes sure the delightful story stands out from the crowd. Find a home on a shelf for Cock-a-Doodle Oops! It's a keeper. -- Kid Lit Reviews

This book is AMAZING. Lori has a way with words. The story flows really well, rhymes, and has great rhythm. Thought I would check it out since I loved her first book "1 Zany Zoo", and it exceeded my expectations. Must read it with your little ones. Will keep an eye out for more from this author.

I enjoy reading children's picture books and this is one I especially enjoyed. The story invites the listener to read along and make the sounds as each animal attempts to "cock-a-doodle-doo". I love the ending too. I found the book so delightful that I ordered it for my grandchildren. They received the book yesterday and, of course, they wanted their parents to read it right away. Today, my daughter texted me that my grandson (aged 3, almost 4) is reading it to his five-month old sister. That's exactly what I hoped for! Thank-you, Lori Degman, for your delightful book!

I really liked this book! But i don't know why. It is a cute, kids book that we bought for the grandkid library at our house. We always read the books first. And we loved this one. So far, one age 11 grandkid has reacted the same way...but could not explain, either. Yes, buy the book because this one is special somehow. If you figure out what makes it special, let me know?...lol

Farmer McPeeper's got a farm full of keepers -- an earnest barnyard bunch who do their best to fill the rooster's shoes while he's on holiday. A great way for children to learn animal sounds and a valuable lesson about the effort and the unexpected reward it can bring.
