The Little Rooster and the Diamond Button

by Celia Barker Lottridge, Joanne Fitzgerald (Illustrations)

One day a little rooster who is pecking on the road finds a magic diamond button. An evil sultan desperately covets it even though his palace is filled with precious stones. He enlists three foolish henchmen to help him but the rooster returns in triumph to the old woman who owns him. This traditional tale teaches the timeless lesson that greed is no match for wit, courage, and humor.

It’s illogical, but there were certain parts of this book that had mods laughing.

Though hungry Little Rooster does not harm the worms and bugs in his garden. Similar to Romanian folktale in Sabina Rascol's The Impudent Rooster.

Same story as The Little Cockerel
