Summary
"For the brother and sister in this story in verse, each day begins with a barnyard wakeup call. They are spending the summer on their grandparents' farm, where they collect eggs from the chicken coop, fill in for the farm dog by barking the cows home, and dance around the perfectly ripening watermelon growing in Grandma's garden. All their barnyard adventures happen in the company of Rexter, the rooster, Seed-Sack the mule and Ginger-Tea the farm dog--animal friends that will steal readers' hearts over the course of a carefree 'rooster summer'"--Jacket flap.
