GFL ( ) Peter goes off to the village wise man to find out what he could do about his noisy house. It seemed like a simple enough problem at the beginning, but more and more complications set in, in the forms of a donkey, a sheep, and a cow, to name a few, until it looked as though an entire farm had come to life right there in Peter’s house! A secular version of a Yiddish folktale, "It Could Always Be Worse," good for young children---few words and lots of repetition. The rabbi has been replaced by a wise man and the unhappy occupant of a noisy home lives alone instead of with a large family. Interesting to compare it to Marilyn Hirsh's Could Anything Be Worse?, my favorite version. no reviews | add a review
Peter complains his house is too noisy so the wise man advises him to obtain some rather unusual house guests. No library descriptions found. |
