Mr. Clucky is the true narrative of a lonely rooster who fell in love with a girl and her family. The story unfolds with Clucky's adventures and brushes with predators. Her family became Clucky's flock. He leaned on them for his daily care and dose of love. Mr. Clucky will forever remain in their hearts with the memories left of his feathers, soft clucking conversations, laughter, and cute complaining when he had to be taken into his pen to roost for the evening. Mr. Clucky also challenges the reader to self-reflect and create their own animal story using a plot diagram and literary devices. The author hopes you find the previous time to connect to the animals that came into your life to capture your heart and help you grow.

 

Mr. Clucky is written from the heart in three ways. Firstly, the author wants children to realize how a pet becomes a loving member of their family and needs love, fresh food, and water every day. Second, Mr. Clucky is based on a true story dear to the author's affection for helping hurting and abandoned animals. Finally, Mr. Clucky is an instructional story to engage students who struggle with reading to practice writing their own pet or animal story to internalize the Language Arts standards of figurative language and plot diagram. If students write about what they read, they comprehend it on the deepest level.
