Adventures with Mr. X

An X-Traordinary Rooster!

Beschreibung

The Adventures with Mr. X is the tale of a very special rooster and his travels throughout the US. Home-hatched and hand-raised by noted horticulturist Rosalind Creasy and her physicist husband Robert, Mr. X claimed them as his "flock." For many years, as Ros and Robert traveled the US, their beloved rooster often went along as companion and wingman. Affectionate, opinionated, and very much his own bird, this feisty fowl gamely took on all challenges that came his way, all the while making friends and evoking smiles wherever he went. In this warm-hearted chronicle of 14 years with Mr. X, you're invited to travel along with him as he: - Herds sheep in New Mexico - Faces down lobsters in Maine and peahens in Texas - Judges a chili cook-off on Long Island - Appears on Good Morning America in New York City - Becomes a connoisseur of French fries from drive-in windows nationwide - Poses for tourist photos in Times Square - Cheers residents of a Florida nursing home - Hosts rousing parties back home in California Think you can't be utterly charmed by a rooster? Think again.
