(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maryam Tabatabaei. A stranger arrives in Chelm on Passover. Let "all who are hungry come and eat," sure, but the villagers don't have much to share. The stranger produces a stone, promising to make matzoh ball soup...and you know the rest. Glaser's well-cadenced text and Tabatabaei's digital-looking art are as light as the Chelmites' matzo balls ("...so light they can almost fly").
