Expand description
Grandpa finds a piece of clay and fashions it into a boy. As soon as the clay boy dries out by the fire, he jumps up and cries, "I am here! I am hungry!" He eats and eats, and he grows and grows. And before you know it, the clay boy is a giant threatening to devour the whole village. Will a feisty white goat become the next meal -- or the ruination of the greedy clay boy's appetite? Mirra Ginsburg engagingly retells this Russian folktale, and Jos. A. Smith's superb paintings bring it all vividly to life.
