(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Kimberly Bulcken Root. In this newly illustrated edition, a boy living in a Russian village more than a century ago steals a dreidel from an unkempt, ineffectual peddler, realizes his mistake, and learns much about what constitutes a moral, meaningful life when he returns it. The fine storytelling, rhythmic and controlled, is complemented by well-composed illustrations noteworthy for their willowy line and subdued palette.
