Zlateh the Goat by Isaac Bashevis Singer (paperback)

Chelm is a village of fools. The most famous fools - oldest and the greatest - are the seven Elders. But there are lesser fools too:a silly irresponsible bridegroom; four sisters who mi up their feet in bed one night; a youn man who imagines himself dead. Here are seven magical folktales, spun by a master storyteller, that speak of fools, devils, shlemiels, and even heroes - like Zlateh the goat.
Ages 9-12
