Description or summary of the audiobook: Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer introduces readers to the village of Chelm in this Newbery Honor Book. Chelm is a village of fools. The most famous fools-the oldest and the greatest-are the seven Elders. But there are lesser fools too: a silly irresponsible bridegroom; four sisters who mix up their feed in bed one night; a young man who imagines himself dead. Here are seven magical folktales spun by a master storyteller, that speak of fools, devils, schlemiels, and even heroes-like Zlateh the goat.The New York Times called Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories, 'beautiful stories for children, written by a master.' The New York Book Review said, 'This book is a triumph. If you have no older children on your list, buy it for yourself.' Singer's extraordinary book of folklore is illustrated by Maurice Sendak, who won a Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. Supports the Common Core State Standards
