(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jacqueline M. Cohen. The village tinker tricks lazy Shlemazel into believing an old spoon will bring luck. But it's the work Shlemazel does with the spoon that leads to life's sweetest rewards--a worthwhile job and marriage to a good woman. Colorful folkloric illustrations tilt and swing across the page, perfectly complementing the well-told tale. An author's note describes the story's origin. Glos.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jacqueline M. Cohen. A dog moves from the noisy city to the quiet country only to have his newfound peace shattered by a trio of rowdy cats. The clever canine quickly devises a plan, and the three marauding felines leave him forever. Wildly colorful illustrations in brilliant hues add extra zip to a tale well told.
