There is a rug in his father s shop that Mustafa loves. (It has a hole in it, so you can put it over your head and still see out.) No one else wants the rug, though lots of tourists visit the shop. His father always welcomes them "Bienvenue" and offers them tea "O cha wa ikaga desu ka?" Mustafa s father would like him to know some words in other languages too, and he tells Mustafa that he may have the rug if he agrees to learn. But after the first lesson, Mustafa is so bored he runs out of the shop (with the carpet on his head). Ending up at the market, he finds a very different way of learning foreign languages...and of getting tourists to visit his father s shop.

About the Author:
Satomi Ichikawa was born in Japan and moved to Paris in 1971. Over her long career she has produced sveral award-winning and critically acclaimed books for children.
From Booklist:
K-Gr. 2. A small Morrocan boy named Mustafa falls in love with a rug in his father's shop and gets to keep it because it has a hole. Delirious with possession, he runs through the marketplace with his brightly colored acquisition over his head and attracts the attention of a wandering rooster, who thinks it's found a compatriot. "Kho kho hou houuu," cries the rooster. The many tourists in the market exclaim over the rooster and the boy, each citing how roosters sound in their own countries: "qui-qui-ri-qui" in Spain; "cock-a-doodle-doo" in England; "koke-ko-kooo" in Japan. Mustafa runs back to his father's shop to report proudly that he has learned to speak "rooster" in five languages--and brings the tourist trade along with him. Besides a gentle cultural lesson in how animals sound in different countries, Ichikawa's glowing pictures, with their radiant colors and slightly exaggerated forms, present an engaging image of a Moroccan marketplace and of a boy who can find a dozen ways of playing with a rug with a small hole.
