What is One Little Chicken about?

How much work can one little chicken be? 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 finders arent keepers, 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 goatsuntilOh! What a house! Elisa Klevens exquisitely detailed folk art brings Elka Webers humorous retelling of a traditional tale to life and promises to leave readers pondering the adage, finders, keepers.
