Rooster Puppet
Fall 2012 ToysReview:
Get a wake-up call in your family by letting the children shout a loud "Cock-a-doodle-doo" and blame it on this beautiful Folkmanis puppet. Realistic in many ways, this soft creature is adorned with honey spurs, a bright red comb, and convincing "feathers." The hand opening also allows one finger to be inserted into the lower half of the beak for "conversation," cackling, or both. This puppet may be used with a variety of children's books, such as Eric Carle's Rooster's Off to See the World or Amy Poole's How the Rooster Got His Crown. Included with the puppet is an attachment offering facts of interest and a brief story about a rooster.
