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.
An insatiable boy made of clay devours everything in sight until a fiesty goat ruins his appetite. Vibrant paintings invigorate this retelling of a Russian folktale.
