Priceless Gifts: A Folktale from Italy

32 pp. | August/Little Folk | May, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-87483-778-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Kanzler. A kind Italian merchant traveling in the Orient is thanked royally after solving the kingdom's rat problem. A greedy trader expecting the same treatment gets his comeuppance after the king rewards him with a kitten. There's a lot of set-up and the subsequent pacing is off. Textured gold-toned paintings are appropriately sumptuous and also include humorous details.
