Title: Cook-A-Doodle-Doo
Author/Illustrator: Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel
Genre: Fiction Folktale

Cook-A-Doodle-Doo is about a rooster that is just tired of the same ole' food every single day. The rooster decides that he wants to cook something else. He gets his friends, a pig, a turtle, and an iguana together to agree with him that they are tired of the same food every day as well. They all decide that they want to cook a strawberry shortcake of all things! The problem was that none of them really knew how to cook. The rooster remembered that his great grandmother kept a recipe so he searches and finds it! The turtle, iguana, and potbelly pig all volunteer to help and they work together to whip up the strawberry shortcake with their own twists on things, considering that none of them know what they're doing!
I would love to read this book to a second great classroom, or any elementary classroom at that! This book makes me so excited because they make it fun to cook together by joining together and each playing a part in creating the meal. I would use this book to teach my students about teamwork and how important it is to be helpful and friendly.
