The Hungry Clothes and Other Jewish Folktales (Folktales of the World) by Peninnah Schram, Gianni De Conno (Illustrator)
A collection of classic Jewish folktales which emphasize values and moral lessons, each with an introduction that places it in context with other Jewish teachings. "Travel to far-off places, from a Moroccan bakery to the sultan's garden, where daily life is anything but ordinary. In The Hungry Clothes and Other Jewish folktales, you'll meet regal kings, wise rabbis, clever tricksters, silly riddlers, and other people who use their imaginations to resolve curious situations. Join in the celebrations, ceremonies, and feasts that are at the heart of Jewish culture." --Front flap
