(3) K-3 Illustrated by Megan Lloyd. Ned the rooster is too much of a night bird to get the hens up in the morning, so hen supervisor Daisy Mae fires him. That night, while cavorting with nocturnal animals, Ned averts a crisis at the hen house--and Daisy Mae realizes there's a place for him after all. The it's-okay-to-be-different message is delivered fairly gracefully, and vivid illustrations add humor to the tale.
