|  | Hosni the Dreamer by Ehud Ben-Ezer, Uri Shulevitz
A poor shepherd named Hosni is honored when the sheikh he works for asks him and some other shepherds to journey to the city and sell some camels. The sheikh gives each shepherd a gold coin to spend however they wish during the trip. All the other shepherds buy food and trinkets, but Hosni spends his gold coin on a piece of wisdom--a decision which is mocked by the others but soon proves correct when it saves Hosni's life. Color illustrations accompany this picture-book retelling of an Arabian tale. AUTHOR: Ehud Ben-Ezer, Uri Shulevitz
