Folk Tales of the Caribbean I Carole Husbands

"A beautiful tale of perseverance, dedication and trust at a time when we need to be reminded of all three". Nyisha Collins, 7th Grade Teacher, Palm Desert, California, The Rooster and his Crown is a delightful Folk Tale of the Caribbean that has been passed down by Grandmother to Grandchild for decades. Mervin Green lives on the beautiful island of St. John, where he raises the loudest crowing, prettiest plumage and most sought after roosters in the Caribbean. He wins first prize every year for his roosters, who have the most unusual crowns. But after a big storm races through the Caribbean islands, and dumps rain and mud on his roosters, can Mervin restore them in time for the big Agricultural Fair and maintain his 1st prize status
