Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur!: A Palestinian Folktale

by Margaret Read MacDonald, Alik Arzoumanian (Illustrator)

Overview

There was once a woman who had a little pot for a child. Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur! That was the sound the pot made as it rolled everywhere. Unfortunately the pot wasn’t old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. That naughty pot ran off with things that did not belong to her until she learned her lesson…the hard way! In this retelling of a Palestinian folktale, children will discover that there are consequences for taking things that don’t belong to them.
