retrieve an apple from a hole in the ground. They will enjoy
learning the highly predictable lines by heart. But when a
surprise event changes the direction of the tale, their expectations
will be jolted in a most amusing way." Ages 3-8

Neem the Half-boy
by IDRES SHAH
"Because she fails to follow the precise instructions
given to her by Arif the Wise Man, the Queen of Hich-Hich
gives birth to a half-boy. This unusual and memorable tale
about an incomplete boy will fascinate young readers and will
encourage them to think about just what it means to be a `complete
person.' That Neem is able to make himself complete by an
act of cleverness, negotiation and compromise, teaches children
more than the expected, usual lesson of bravery." Ages
3-8

The Lion Who Saw
Himself in the Water
by IDRES SHAH
"A good-natured Lion is misunderstood by the
rest of the jungle animals because of his loud growling voice.
He pads up to a pool of water one day and, bending to drink,
sees his reflection. He gasps at the fierce creature staring
back at him and is too frightened to drink. Just as the lion
sees himself in the water, children can see themselves in
him. They can use him as an example to learn to deal positively
with fears and inhibitions that gso often arise from situations
they as yet may not understand." Ages 3-8

The Magic Horse

Nights, this book follows the wondrous adventures of young
Prince Tambal. Considered a dreamer in comparison to his brother,
Tambal becomes intrigued by a wooden horse dismissed by others
as a mere plaything. This finely carved horse, however, turns
out to be much more than a toy. The horse is magical and it
carries the rider, if he is sincere, to his heart's desire.
Prince Tambal disappears on the magic horse and has many exciting
adventures before he obtains his heart's desire and can return
home." Age7-12
