This is a beautiful and unusual gift book based on a jewish folktale.
Based on Jewish folklore, this suspenseful tale illustrates the danger of becoming prideful. For his compassion in saving the life of a young lioness, Solomon is granted the power of understanding the speech of animals. Many years later, grown powerful and arrogant, Solomon is charged by a raging lion, and his power momentarily fails him. Pastel & watercolor illustrations.
