Story and songs Trout Fishing in America Illustrations Stéphane Jorisch

The comical cat who loves to rock out in farm gear is back! It’s a special day for the hen house-loving friend, Chicken Joe, but he can’t recall why. After an abrupt awakening by his neighbours, the Rock and Roll Roosters, Chicken Joe sets out on a quest to figure out what it is he needs to remember. Loyal friends who love him such as Helen and Hilda, the hens; Miss Kitty, the city dog; Mister, the mule and King Kong, the parakeet, conspire to keep the delightful secret that it’s his birthday. The accompanying album offers a collection of 11 fun sing-along songs along with the narrated story.
