Have you ever just wanted to be lazy all day? Well, this lazy farmer learns a valuable lesson from Rowdy Rooster, his hens, and their farm friends by making the farmer feel their pain! "We found the farmer!" "We need to be fed." Rowdy Rooster crowed! Then jumped in his bed! Then the craziness begins... What you do or don't do can affect others; and sometimes the only way we can understand is to feel how we are making them feel. Taking care of animals is a responsibility we need to take seriously. These animals are completely dependent on you!

They are sick of being used for Kapores, the custom practiced at the start of each New Year, when people twirl a live chicken over their heads, hoping it will erase their bad deeds. The boy needs Kapores to get rid of his bad deeds. When the chickens are found to be missing, the boy tells the villagers where to find them.

Will he get them to listen to reason, or will they have the last word? This amusing story will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever wanted to be a better person. Full-color illustrations.

Book Description
In the year 1905, 2000 Jewish children with 5 adults left the country where they were persecuted, and they sailed to an abandoned island in the North Pacific Ocean. They lived happily, till a dictator with the help of 14 armed criminals, invaded the island and held the population captive. The dictator kept the children from being educated. He destroyed all their Jewish books and forced them to abandon their Jewish customs --- once again subjects of religious persecution. However, these "ignorant" people found ways to use coded words to secretly observe Jewish ways and holidays.They were forced to work in an unsafe mine whose ore was radioactive. Many miners came down with radiation poisoning, and several died. Then, a ten year-old boy was crippled by a runaway ore car and a wise man helped him to sue the dictator. That was the beginning of the downfall of the tyrant. With that as the impetus, quietly, the people planned a revolt and attacked. The dictator was shocked that his guards offered no resistance.

Book Description
This book is a portrait of the Petaluma Jewish community from the early years of the century to the present day. Kenneth L. Kann interviewed more than two hundred residents, representing three generations of Jewish Americans. The picture that emerges from their testimony is of a wonderfully animated and fractious community. Its history blends many of the familiar themes of American Jewish life into a richly individual tapestry. In the first few decades of this century, many Jewish immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe wound up in Petaluma. This first generation of chicken farmers consisted largely of educated, often professional men and women; many were drawn to chicken farming as much by Marxist or Zionist beliefs in the dignity of labor as by economic necessity. They helped establish the particular character of a community, with its combination of arduous work and cultural aspiration.
