The Boy, The Baker, The Miller, and More

   This book is a new fav of ours. The Boy, the Baker, The Miller, and More by Harold Berson. It reminds me a lot of Pele's New Suit by Elsa Beskow. A child wants something. They ask and elder for it. The elder says, "I'll give it to you if you find me such and such..." It's an age old storytelling construct and one that children, especially in the five to ten age range love. Harold Berson's illustrations are charming in this book. Unfortunately, I found it as a discard so I'm not sure if its very widely available.
