Chanticleer And The Fox by Barbara Cooney
A Chaucerian Tale
A proud rooster named Chanticleer lives contentedly in a farmyard with his hens, boasting of his splendid crow, until a sly fox flatters him into closing his eyes to sing and seizes him. As the farm erupts in a frantic chase, the captured bird uses his wits to trick the fox into opening his mouth to boast, enabling a daring escape. The tale delivers a gentle moral about pride and the dangers of flattery.
