(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. In this generic, vaguely Middle Eastern tale, a rug merchant's son angers his father by listening to a storyteller all day instead of selling his wares. Ultimately, the boy reaps a greater reward when the storyteller passes his profession along to him. Exotic typeface on parchment-colored background is hard to read but adds to the antique look perpetuated by the stylized black-and-white artwork.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
