A young boy invites the sun to wake Rooster and then watches as Rooster makes his loud morning crow, which causes the sleeping, silent farm to quickly become a boisterous, lively place as all the animals wake up to Rooster's call.

From Kirkus Reviews
Who wakes rooster? As it turns out, the sun has that responsibility. However, the book opens before sun-up, so readers meet a farm of slumbering creatures in the pre-dawn: dog and cat, horse and pig and cow and, yes, a snoozing rooster, who cracks into action come the early light, thus prompting a cacophony of moos, neighs, and snorts as the barnyard readies for another day. A little boy witnesses the transformation, then lets his mother think her kisses wake him. Meeker gets the diurnal rhythms of the farm just right, that ancient slipping from all quiet to all a-buzz, as she lets each animal's circumstance trip into the next's: ``Bounce isn't barking. Where is Bounce? Dozing in his doghouse, peacefully dreaming, because Miranda isn't meowing. Where is Miranda?'' The flow is gentle, the pulse is steady. Halsey's illustrations look like cut-outs, staged and photographed, that also reveal themselves as trompe l'oeil marvels. It adds a wondrous realism to the proceedings.

From Booklist
Ages 2^-4. This engaging book is built around the fact that roosters crow at sunrise. It begins by asking where each farm animal is. The dog is sleeping because the cat isn't meowing because the horse isn't neighing, and so forth, all because the sun hasn't risen and rooster hasn't crowed. Double-page illustrations in dusky blues, greens, and purples show each animal in its resting place. The figures are rendered in paint and colored pencil, then cut and pasted for a three-dimensional effect. The results are warm, homey, and visually very interesting. When rooster finally crows, the pages turn sunny and bustling as each creature plays its role and the farm springs to life. Strong visual appeal combined with satisfying repetition make this a sure choice for the young. Leone McDermott
