Can Clyde handle the new kid in town?

In this fresh and funny followup to the Ezra Jack Keats Honor book A Crow of His Own, Rooster Clyde has just settled in and found his voice when everyone demands that he take his hard-earned crow down a notch to let newcomer Rowdy and his mother get their beauty sleep. That doesn't sit well with Clyde. Even worse, motherly goose Roberta seems to have taken the new animals' side! Can they reach a solution that works for everybody?

While the furred and feathered farm residents welcome their newest additions, background illustrations show Farmer Jay and Farmer Kevin preparing for their own adopted child to arrive.
