The Jar of Fools: Eight Hanukkah Stories from Chelm

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Mordicai Gerstein. Although nonsense abounds in these stories about the foolish realm of Chelm, Kimmel's sure sense of the potential of wisdom even among the most foolish brings sweetness and lightness to these tales. Kimmel alerts us in an author's note to the mixture of his collection; a dollop of retellings of traditional Yiddish tales, a soupçon of reworkings from other cultures, blended with three original stories.
