A unique twist of 'The Little Red Hen", "Cook a Doodle Doo" is about a rooster who becomes bored of eating chicken feed everyday. Deciding to cook a strawberry shortcake using his great-granny's recipe (L.R. Hen), Rooster acquires the over-eager assistants of Turtle, Pig, and Iguana. Their first attempt was a disaster, but through teamwork, they make enough shortcakes to last a lifetime.
I liked this book because of it continues the story of Little Red Hen by making the main character a descendant. Also, it continues the pattern of unwilling helpers, but brings new characters into the story who fulfill their personas very well. Finally, it has a good theme or lesson regarding teamwork and perseverance.
