The Brothers' Promise

32 pp. | Whitman | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-0900-0
(3) K-3 This Jewish Talmudic tale about two brothers, who take care of each other during a drought, is retold in vivid language. The contrasting characters of the brothers are swiftly drawn, and their mutual love is conveyed by the fast-moving story. The oil-based illustrations are dominated by dark colors, which underscore the common sense and wisdom of this upbeat story of friendship and love.
