The King and the Cockerel – Review

We were thrilled when Tea and Cake for the Soul shared this glowing review of The King and the Cockerel:

“As well as being fun, it… has so many educational learning opportunities. From number ordering and counting, to learning about what other things animals provide us with, ie, wool coming from sheep, eggs from hens, and honey from bees. Children will not only see that it is wrong to take things that aren’t theirs, but also to admit when they are wrong and apologise and even do something to make amends. I loved the ethos of this book.”
