Book Description
for The Ball of Clay That Rolled Away by Elizabeth Lenhard and Jason Wolff
From the Publisher
The kids at Camp Knish want to make the ball of clay into a mezuzah, a menorah, a kiddush cup, and more... but the ball of clay will have none of it. He jumps away, rolling through the camp and joining a circle dance, picking up a squash blossom as a sunbonnet, and getting mistaken for a soccer ball. Finally, he lands by a lake and just as the last camper approaches him, he has the last word
Jason Wolff's sprightly illustrations, rendered with paper, photographs, and colored pencils, capture the character of a ball of clay with attitude in this tale loosely based on The Gingerbread Man.
