About The Book
Nasreddin Hodja is known as a symbol of wit and wisdom who lived in the Seljuq era Turkey. His impact throughout the Middle East and Central Asia is visible in hundreds of anecdotes told and retold where Nasreddin Hodja either appears as a philosopher/judge or an ordinary folk challenging common stereotypes of his time. His jokes are important for their educational value as they often teach or emphasize an important moral principle. This book is a collection of these stories for young readers who like to get to know Nasreddin Hodja.

Raves and Reviews
Gr-1-3—This collection of tales about the Turkish foolish-wise folk hero is attractively illustrated with water color and ink cartoon drawings. The stories are two to three pages each, with a few lines of text per page and well arranged with a good amount of white space and copious illustrations. Sometimes the point of the story may be too subtle for young children to understand, but for the most part they will follow the humor.
