Two Lions
Ralph the rooster has big dreams of becoming a superhero. But the other farm animals aren’t so sure—except for Rosie the pig, that is. She’s Ralph’s best friend, and she believes in him. As Ralph and Rosie hang around the farm, there are just no opportunities to be a superhero and save the day...until the farmer turns on the radio, and the “Chicken Dance” song starts playing. POW-WOW! Suddenly it seems that Ralph may have some super powers after all...or does he? Join Ralph and Rosie as they prove that believing in yourself and being a good friend is what makes a true superhero.
“The amusing and bouncy refrain is a read-aloud treat…McClurkan’s uncomplicated farm scenes emphasize the animals’ expressive faces…Everyone has some secret powers hidden inside.” —Kirkus Reviews
Ralph the rooster wants to be a superhero, but that’s easier said than done. With the support and encouragement from his best pal, Rosie, Ralph finally finds the super booster that he needs...so why is it still so hard to save the day?!
Maureen Wright’s Super Rooster Saves The Day is a sweet, laugh-out-loud tale with humongous humor and heart! Little readers will be charmed by the unforgettable and unflappable Ralph and his bestest friend ever Rosie, as they set out to save the day, resulting in silly mix-ups and wacky hijinks.
