The Hungry Clothes and Other Jewish Folktales

(3) 4-6 Folktales of the World series. Illustrated by Gianni De Conno. This collection features twenty-two folktales, some from the oral tradition, others adapted from the Talmud. Each is preceded by a paragraph conveying the values and traditions of Judaism as connected to the story (a few hit the message home harder than necessary). The book is elegantly put together, with shiny paper and abstract-design borders, variegated title headings, and painterly illustrations. Sources are included. Glos.
