Synopsis:
One Rosh Hashanah, a boy overhears some chickens planning a strike. They are sick of being used for Kapores, the New Year custom in which people swing a live chicken over their heads, hoping to erase their bad deeds. When all of the chickens run away, the women try to coax them back with grain, the men try to get them back with force, and the rabbi tries to negotiate. Finally the boy pleads, "Without Kapores, I will never be able to make my papa proud." A chicken responds, "Boychick, for this you need a chicken?" This amusing and telling story about wise chickens and foolish villagers will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever wanted to be a better person.
Review:
"Silverman's adaptation of Sholom Aleichem's story is resonantly worded for oral effect, and Trueman's layered paintings have a smooth glaze over mottled colors that enriches the fine-etched human figures as well as the highly expressive chickens (victorious white-lined fowl even cavort across the hen-red endpapers)."
Betsy Hearne, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, July/August 2003
Review:"A gentle holiday lesson on how to be good."
