Shlemazel and the Remarkable Spoon of Pohost

By Stampler, Ann Redisch & Cohen, Jacqueline

Publishers Summary:
Lazy Shlemazel is convinced he has no luck. But Moshke the tinker promises him that his luck will change if he sets to work using the "amazing, remarkable spoon of Pohost."

Lively Chagall-like illustrations capture the spirit of this traditional Jewish tale, a funny and thought-provoking look at how we make our own luck. Author's note, glossary.
