Doctor All-Knowing: A Folk Tale from the Brothers Grimm

40 pp. | Atheneum/Jackson | October, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-1246-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Because of a doctor's silly (though fortuitous) advice, a wealthy man's fears, some thieving servants' foolishness, and his daughter's quick observations, a starving man and his hungry child end up with banquet-loads of food every night. The gently satirical text, picked up on by the amusing watercolor illustrations, contrasts lanky Doctor All-Knowing and his raggedy child with the well-fed wealthy folks.
