Book summaryA retelling of the story of Rabbi Loew who shaped a giant man--a golem--out of clay, and brought him to life. The golem was created to protect the Jews of Prague from their persecutors; unfortunately, the golem performed his job almost too well. This version of the story is accompanied by colorful cut-paper illustrations. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 19 96 and winner of the 1997 Caldecott Medal. Media reviews"The cut-paper collages are exquisitely produced and exceedingly dramatic. There is menace and majesty in Wisniewski's use of color, and he finds atmosphere and terror in a scissor's stroke. A fact-filled final note concludes this mesmerizing book." |
