Champion crower Dudley is beloved by all but one of the barnyard inhabitants, who believe that his morning greeting causes the sun to shine. Gunther, a nasty old gander, sets out to peck him to a frazzle, and the ensuing chase adds tension to the story.
Gunther, a jealous and bad-tempered goose, sets out to prove that popular rooster Dudley is a phony in claiming that he causes the sun to rise every morning.

"This is vintage Peet—a sparkling story . . . It is the emotions and expressions on the characters' faces that grab the reader and make the bucolic yarn a guaranteed success."—Booklist
