How much work can one little chicken be?
Â
When Leora finds a chicken in her front yard, she imagines keeping it as a pet and gathering eggs for breakfast every morning. But her mother has a very different view. Following a Jewish law that says âfinders arenât keepers,â Mrs. Bendosa is determined that the family should care for the chicken just until its rightful owner returns. Soon, however, one little chicken becomes a flock of chickens, a flock of chickens becomes two goats, two goats become a herd of goats…untilâOh! What a house!
Elisa Klevenâs exquisitely detailed folk art brings Elka Weberâs humorous retelling of a traditional tale to life and promises to leave readers pondering the adage, âfinders, keepers.â
