Book CONDITION: UNREAD 1997 PJ Library PAPERBACK, 5th printing. I just give up on PJ Library's ISBN system-if there is one. The HB copy and the PB copy share the same ISBN numbers. Tiny little edge wear bottom spine. REally, tiny. Beautiful color illustrations by Susan Gaber. CONTENT: A Jewish Cinderella, What's more precious than rubies, more lasting than gold? Raisel knows. She learned it from her grandfather, a poor scholar who taught her. When he dies, Raisel finds work in the home of a rabbi. His jealous cook makes Raisel toil from sunup to sundown. And as the Jewish holiday of Purim approaches, Raisel works even harder. The rabbi's son presides over the Purim dinner, and Raisel listens closely when he responds to riddles posed by his guests. Is it possible that this young man can answer Raisel's riddle? Erica Silverman's lively retelling of the Cinderella story features a heroine for whom knowledge is as essential to happiness as love. In striking paintings, Susan Gaber captures all her beauty, external and internal. Ages 5-8. Early Readers. Part of the PJ bedtime stories & songs group.
