The Boy Who Stuck Out His Tongue: A Yiddish Folk Tale

32 pp. | Barefoot | August, 2000 | Trade ISBN 1-84148-067-3 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Judith Christine Mills. A naughty boy running from his mother gets his tongue stuck on an iron fence. The townsfolk gather around in the snow and offer advice, but it's an outsider, a traveling blacksmith, who frees the boy. Cheerful illustrations of large, rounded figures set against a background of swirling snow capture the warm humor in this Hungarian numskull tale.
