Books with title Little Dude's Big Day

Little Dude is a small rooster that loves to compete in crowing. But so far his only competition has been against one other rooster at home. One day his pet humans take him to a professional rooster crowing contest. At first Little Dude doesn't realize that it is an actual competition, but once he does, he really gets excited! Will Little Dude's overconfidence lead to his losing the competition? Little Dude's Big Day is a fun children's tale that will give readers something to crow about! First-time author Jennifer Sutton grew up on a farm in Oregon. The book was inspired by her pet rooster, Little Dude. "Every year we take him to the annual rooster crow contest in Rogue River, Oregon. He is a show off. He loves to crow in front of people and gets excited when people cheer him on. However, he never knows when the actual contest starts, so he will crow and crow before he is supposed to. But when the contest starts, he will stop to make his feathers look nice, so he's never gotten better than second place." Her next book is about two ducks.
