Yankel loves to tell stories, as long as they are someone else's.


He does not see the hurt that his stories cause, the way they spread and change. Then the rabbi hands him a bag of feathers and tells him to place one on every doorstep in the village. Yankel is changed by what happens and finds himself with his best story yet, one of his very own.

Reviews

"A wonderfully illustrated book...The art warmly underlines the plot...Refreshing." "Its moral and drawings are first class. "A valuable addition to any library, this book is highly recommended to people of all ages and walks of life." "The fun in this retelling of a Jewish folktale is not in the lesson, but in the setting, the people, and the stories they tell." "The paintings are colorful and joyous, indicative of the joy of the 'old country'...This tale sticks with the familiar format of other Jewish folktales, with a lesson that even young children can understand." "Waldman uses rich language which brings life to the story…Children will enjoy this story as a read-aloud." Expand reviews
