Illustrated by
Elisa Kleven.
Leora takes care of an errant chicken while waiting for its owner to appear. One thing leads to another, and her family ends up with a herd of goats to present to the grateful chicken-misplacer. Weber's text is straightforward and humorous. Kleven's varied mixed-media illustrations, depicting an indeterminate Old Country setting, are full of texture and patterns. An author's note is appended.
