Bold coloring page of a rooster perched on a fence post with barn, silo, sunrise, clouds, and trees.

Proud Rooster on the Fence at Sunrise

A big-tailed rooster stands tall on a wooden fence post while the sun rises behind the barn and silo.

🎨 How to color it

Give the rooster a cherry-red comb, golden-yellow beak and feet, teal-and-orange tail feathers, and a warm red barn under a pale blue sky. Use chunky crayons for the rooster’s large body and fence rails, and don’t worry if little hands color over the feather lines. Try making the sunrise a big soft yellow circle so the rooster looks cozy on his post.

The first sun peeked up, warm as toast, and Cody wanted one yellow seed for breakfast. He hopped down from his cozy fence post—tap, tap, wobble!—and scratched by the rail.

A splinter tickled his toe. “Oh!” said Cody. He pecked the tiny crack, and out rolled not a seed, but a little silver bell from long ago. Ding-ding, it sang.

Cody carried its sound back up high. His post felt like home again. Can you find the place where Cody stood to sing?
