Items related to Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur!: A Palestinian Folktale
There was once a woman who had a little pot for a child. Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur!—that was the sound the pot made as it rolled everywhere. Unfortunately the pot wasn’t old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. That naughty pot ran off with things that did not belong to her until she learned her lesson . . . the hard way! In this retelling of a Palestinian folktale, children will discover that there are consequences for taking things that don’t belong to them.

About the Author:
"Margaret Read MacDonald likes to discover old tales that are not widely known to the public. Every year, she travels to exotic new places in search of tales―Kota Kinabalu, Alor Setar, Shanghai, Palembang, and Buenos Aires, to name a few. She retold another tale for Marshall Cavendish: Too Many Fairies, illustrated by Susan Mitchell. Dr. MacDonald lives in Kirkland, Washington.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2-A childless woman prays to Allah for progeny and is rewarded with a mischievous little cooking pot with human attributes. Soon the little pot tires of rattling around the house (Tunjur! Tunjur! Tunjur!) and insists on rolling off to market, where she tricks a rich man into filling her up with honey and rolls home again. The second time the pot leaves home she encounters a king who fills her with jewels. When Little Pot rolls home with this treasure, her mother realizes that she has been absconding with other people's property and tells her child that she will have to return everything. In the morning, the unrepentant pot escapes before her mother awakes, but she meets the rich man again, who takes her to the king. The men conspire to fill the pot with goat dung, which convinces her to stay home until she is old enough to have learned right from wrong. MacDonald's telling is filled with repetition to encourage children to join in. Arzoumanian's bright, acrylic illustrations of sloe-eyed humans and the sly-eyed red pot are set against backgrounds with suggestions of Arabic decorative arts, which reinforce the story nicely.-Miriam Lang Budin, Chappaqua Public Library, NY
