Lemuel the Fool

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sonja Lamut. In a story inspired by the Yiddish tales about the foolish residents of the mythical eastern European village of Chelm, a man named Lemuel seeks to sail to a magical city beyond the horizon only to end up back on his own shores. He wonders, do all villages the world over look the same? The tale is told well, and the illustrations are drawn with energy and conviction.
