{"product_id":"a-crow-of-his-own-9781580894470","title":"A Crow of His Own","description":"Clyde is the new rooster at Sunrise Farm. But he's having trouble fitting in and replacing Larry--the beloved rooster whose wake-up calls were legendary. The cow, the gaggle of hens, and the sheep reminisce about Larry while poor Clyde fails to croon the farmyard awake with the same finesse. Clyde attempts to win over the farm by wearing an elaborate costume and putting on a show like Larry was known to do, but in the end, Clyde realizes that imitating Larry is not the way to succeed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAwards\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eSELECTION 2016\u003c\/b\u003e - Cooperative Children's Book Center Choices\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSELECTION 2016\u003c\/b\u003e - Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHONOR 2016\u003c\/b\u003e - Ezra Jack Keats Book Award\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMegan Dowd Lambert \u003c\/b\u003eis an instructor at the Center for the Study of Children's Literature at Simmons College, where she previously earned her master's degree in children's literature.
