Summary: A laugh-aloud story
Comment: I thought I was the only person whose tongue got suck to a frozen popsicle. I read "The Boy Who Stuck Out His Tongue" and laughed aloud at the funny predicament. I also read it to my younger sister and she found it amusing, too. I hope Ms. Tarbescu writes more funny bks. I also loved "Bring Back My Gebil," and read that to my sister, too. If you want to laugh, order this book.

Summary: Sugar and medicine
Comment: This is yet another tale told in this writer's delightful style. I highly recommend this and all of her books. The reviewer from the American Library Association seems disappointed that the boy learns his lesson. Come on now!!! Helping adults and children learn from our mistakes is why folktales and fables have lasted for centuries. A lot of new stories do well to last a decade. This rendition should be around for quite some time. She gives the ending just the right touch in my opinion. I work in the public schools and I'm greatly concerned about the need to help children to learn civilized behavior. Children can learn from it but there is nothing preachy about it at all. It's like a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.

Summary: An engaging and entertaining story
Comment: In The Boy Who Stuck Out His Tongue, Edith Tarbescu retells an old Yiddish folk tale about the son of a widow. When his mother asks him to light the fire He just sticks his tongue out at here. he would rather make snowballs than help with chores. But then sticking his tongue out gets him into a problematic situation. When this happens, all the folk of his little Hungarian village rally to his aid -- and our young man learns an invaluable lesson. Judith Mills' colorful artwork is a perfect enhancement to Edith Tarbescu's engaging and entertaining story that will have young readers gleefully turning the pages, one after another!
