(2) 1-3 Translated by Seymour Barofsky. Illustrated by Maurice Sendak. In a brief but touching first-person narrative, Maurice Sendak's father describes how he left Poland for America. He then relates a naive, moralistic tale in which a grandfather teaches values to his grandson. Images in this shtetl fairy tale fly by as if in a Chagall dream; lovingly rendered drawings add a dimension of magic to the simple story.
