Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Once upon a time a poor unfortunate man lived with his mother, his wife, and his six children in a one-room hut.Because they were so crowded, the children often fought and the man and his wife argued. When the poor man was unable to stand it any longer, he ran to the Rabbi for help.As he follows the Rabbi's unlikely advice, the poor man's life goes from bad to worse, with increasingly uproarious results. In his little hut, silly calamity follows foolish catastrophe, all memorably depicted in full-color illustrations that are both funnier and lovelier than any this distinguished artist has done in the past.

Synopsis:

Unable to stand his overcrowded and noisy home any longer, a poor man follows the Rabbi's surprising advice.

This book is wonderful, possibly more so for adults than even for children. A simple message with clever illustrations, this story is teaches a timeless lesson in an enjoyable way. I used it in a group therapy session for the elderly, and my 99 year old patient laughed and nodded knowingly through the whole story!
