Col(the prince's initial reform is quite abrupt), the story is still a lively adventure with the sat of green and lapis. He does, weaving a unique carpet to prove his achievement. When Vachagan is imprisoned by a greedy demon, his skill at the loom saves his life, and also enables him to send a coded message to his queen-wife. From School Library Journal Grade 2-5?On the watch for a traditional tale with a strong female figure? This Armenian story features a weaver's daughter who requires the idle prince who courts her to become both literate and skilled at a craft. A faint flavor of the 1930s film style links this Armenian story with its new American audience.?Patricia Lothrop-Green, St. If the patterning of the story is a bit too geometric (the prince's initial reform is quite abrupt), the story is still a lively adventure with the satisfying shape of f

San Souci and illustrater, Raul Colon, capture the magic, mystery and romance of the land of Mt. Ararat through clear writing and rich illustrations. This book is a delig
