Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer (1984-10-10)

Childrens book of stories.

i bought this for myself (an adult). Makes me cry for some reason.

When Shlemiel went to Warsaw and Zlateh the Goat are both collections of short stories awarded a Newbery Honor in 1969 and 1967 respectively. They were written by Isaac Bashevis Singer, a Jewish author well known for his short stories, who received the 1978 Nobel Prize in Literature.

My 9 year old Daughter brought this book from School,when she read to me I fell in Love with it.She asked for it as Christmas present.Fast delivery.Thank you.

Enchanting stories, kids and adults will love them. Singer was the great master.

This is a beautiful book. My children loved it. Its a great addition to our library.

Singer and Sendak are an unbeatable combination. Sendak is amazing in what he can do with pen and ink (no color). I think those who are familiar with Yiddish culture would appreciate these stories more than those who are not.

Love this story!

If your children love either Isaac Singer or Chelm, look no further than these seven tales. They will treasure the book always, because, as Singer noted in the Foreword to this 1966 volume, In stories time does not vanish. Neither do men and animals. For the writer and his readers the creatures go on living forever. What happened a long time ago is still present. Singer dedicated the stories to children who had no chance to grow up because of stupid wars and cruel persecutions and hoped readers would grow into men and women who love not only their own children but all good children everywhere. Its hard to imagine otherwise.

I have adored this book for 50 years, both the illustrations and the stories. The title story never fails to bring a lump to my throat.
