Ali and the Magic Stew

32 pp. | Boyds | March, 2002 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-869-5 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Winslow Pels. In this cautionary tale set in long-ago Persia, wealthy young Ali learns the worth of every human being when a beggar he's long spurned tells him the secret to curing his gravely ill father: Ali must himself beg for coins to buy the ingredients of a healing stew. Slightly stylized illustrations in jewel tones support the text, which is exemplary if predictable.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
