A lively folktale from the middle east introduces us to a woman who longs for a child and prays to Allah "even if it's just a cooking pot" which is what she gets. The mischiveous little pot runs ("Tun-jur! Tun-jur!" is the roll-y noise she makes) off with things that do not belong to her. She learns her lesson when someone fills her up with goat muck- instead of the reward she was expecting.
A lesson of learning right from wrong is shared with strong arabic- styled illustrations.
Author's notes are included.

This will be a fun read-aloud. The illustrations are striking and the character ed message is effective.
