An antic retelling of the story of a magic bag, reputed to enclose leopards, camels, genies, and the entire city of Baghdad, and its would-be owners is illustrated with a Middle Eastern flavor.

Kindergarten-Grade 2-An obscure Arabian tale. The theft of a damask bag precipitates a court battle in which Ali, the vendor, outsmarts the sly-talking thief. The boasting, almost tall-tale aspect of the story is common to its culture, as is the clever, turnabout ending. The language is smooth, with a slightly formal cadence, and reads aloud well. The bright watercolors are placed on sand-colored, marbled pages and framed by traditional Arabic arches and patterns. An enjoyable story that should have even greater appeal thanks to Disney's Aladdin.
