The people do not like to be disturbed in the morning, so roosters are against the law. One day Mr. Goodhart, a local farmer, goes to the store to buy some hen chicks. Now hen chicks and rooster chicks look very much alike, and by accident Mr. Goodhart buys a rooster chick. When he finds out that the chick is really a rooster, he decides that the rooster has to go into the soup! Will the rooster ever survive? Find out. - I recommend this book for mothers with young children. My mom read it to me when I was little, and I loved it.
