The Rooster Prince of Breslov
The Rooster Prince of Breslov | Ann Redisch Stampler
4 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
This picture book brings a light touch and engaging silliness to the story of a prince who rejects the lavish luxury of his upbringing in favor of a life as . . . a rooster. The only person who can persuade the prince to reconsider is neither a doctor nor a magician but a wise teacher who is willing to become a rooster too. Told to the author by her grandmother, who brought it from Eastern Europe a century ago, this traditional tale is accompanied by strikingly witty and graceful illustrations that add their own folkloric flavor. Author's note.

The Rooster Prince of Breslov is a hilarious read with some great messages. The story of a boy deciding he is a rooster just works really well somehow. As the author discusses in the afterword, it works well as a coming of age story and as a story about teaching others by speaking to them on their level. Recommended.

“And sometimes, when the sky was blue and the sun was high and he heard his own son whistling a tune, he almost forgot that he has ever been a rooster.”
