Clyde the Rooster is now the voice of the barnyard. The LOUD voice of the barnyard. But, when the farmers introduce the new goat and her kid, Clyde feels jealous by the attention they are getting. Especially Roberta's attention. So, he ramps up his morning crow! But, it wakes up the baby and even Roberta takes Clyde to task, but this only makes Clyde worse! 

I loved the dialogue between the animals - so much fun! The illustrations are engaging, lots more story in the pictures. A delightful follow up of "A Crow of His Own."
