Story Mix for Three to Six: Cock-a-Doodle Cluck Cluck!

Story Mix is the weekly program for kids ages 3 - 6 and introduces stories, songs, activity and fun! In the first week of the fall program, we are going to read the book, Cock-A-Doodle Quack Quack! by Ivor Baddiel and Sophie Jubb.  Shared reading is valuable because your child has your full attention, and you are enjoying the experience together.   Shared reading with your child develops vocabulary, comprehension and encourages imaginative thinking.

Cock-A-Doodle Quack Quack! is a humorous tale about a baby rooster who is trying to wake up the other animals on the farm, but not having any luck. By carefully listening to the other roosters, the baby rooster learns how to call out in the morning and wake up the pigs and cows!

Kids will love making the animal noises along with the baby rooster and learn to understand and differentiate the variety of farm animals. When reading together, make observations and involve your child by asking questions about the story.

Check catalog availability for the book Cock-A-Doodle Quack Quack! by Ivor Baddiel and Sophie Jubb.

To accompany this book, you and your child can sing the "Little Chicken" song.  You can add playful elements with movement and action when singing the song together.  Singing also helps children remember things for a longer time and hear the smaller sounds in words.


Little Chicken Rhyme
Said the first little chicken
With a queer little squirm
Oh, I wish I could find
A fat little worm

Said the second little chicken
With an odd little shrug
Oh, I wish I could find
A fat little bug

Said the third little chicken
With a small sigh of grief
Oh, I wish I could find
A green little leaf

Said the fourth little chicken
With a sharp little squeal
Oh, I wish I could find
Some nice yellow meal

Said the fifth little chicken
With a faint little moan
Oh, I wish I could find
A wee gravel stone

Now see here, said their mother
From the green garden path
If you want any breakfast
Just come here and scratch.
