- W2007667418 abstract "Reviewed by: Rosa Farm Hope Morrison Wu, Liz Rosa Farm; illus. by Matt Phelan. Knopf, 2006134p Library ed. ISBN 0-375-93681-5$17.99 Trade ed. ISBN 0-375-83681-0$15.95 Ad Gr. 3-5 Rumors spread quickly on Rosa Farm, thanks to its gossipy gaggle of geese. On this particular day, the news is that Farmer Rosa is taking Magellan the Rooster to compete in the county fair, which means Gallileon, his young son, must welcome the sun in his stead. Gallileon is fairly nervous about this—he's not really sure how one goes about waking the sun and he's afraid of the backlash if he were to mess up—but, fortunately, he does a passable job (though it takes quite a few off-key croaks before he gets it right). The geese decide to play a trick on Gallileon, challenging him to prove his ability to cock-a-doodle-doo at high noon before the entire barnyard. What Gallileon doesn't know is that an eclipse is to occur at that very moment, and he is thus certain that he ruined everything when his noontime crow results in the disappearance of the sun. In the end, a thoughtfully executed coup in the coop takes leadership away from the bossy, mean-spirited goose Prattle (who planned the trick on Gallileon), and Magellan the Rooster returns home with a blue ribbon, none the wiser about his son's eventful day. This is a little lightweight for its length: the central conflict of this barnyard romp is somewhat silly, and the plot is at times difficult to follow. The story's real focus, though, is the way rumors and group dynamics function among the animals on the farm, and with elements such as eavesdropping, seductive speechmaking, deceit, and even a kidnapping thrown in [End Page 273] for good measure, the tale offers plenty of commentary on the power of politicking. Phelan's energetic black-and-white illustrations playfully depict the animals and are especially adept at conveying emotions through simply drafted facial expressions. Readers who have outgrown Click, Clack, Moo (BCCB 9/00) may appreciate this chapter-book version of politics at play on the farm.
