These classic, rollicking tales of Chelm are guaranteed to delight children of all ages.
One of the original collections of Chelm stories, these Jewish folk tales about the people of Chelm was originally translated from the original town records of Helm many years ago, and that name has stuck--proving that the people of Chelm are not fools, but foolish things happen to them.
Read along as the people of Helm are faced with foolish challenges and watch how they come together as a community to merrily overcome them.
The townsfolk's well-meaning but often comical actions lead to unexpected and entertaining outcomes. lllustrated with whimsical drawings, these humorous stories are great fun for children who love classic fool and trickster tales
The New York Times called this a delightful little book . . . a classic of its kind . . . full of merriment and wisdom.
