The Bachelor and the Bean

(3) K-3 In this Moroccan Jewish folktale, a grumpy old bachelor drops a bean down a well and wakes an imp who gives him a magic pot. This gift arouses the jealousy of an old woman, who turns out to be his perfect match ("Such a nasty temper! Such awful manners...What a wonderful woman!"). Whimsical illustrations rendered in a cheerful palette and filled with Moroccan details enhance this silly, warm-hearted tale.
