Clay Boy
Ginsburg, Mirra / Smith, Jos. A.
In this engaging retelling of a Russian folktale, an old man 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 grows until the clay boy is a giant threatening to devour the whole village. Full color.
