Doctor All-Knowing: A Folk Tale from the Brothers Grimm

Doris Orgel (2008), 40 pages
Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger
Audience: K - 2nd Grade
A poor man desperate to feed his daughter something besides thin porridge follows a doctor's advice and sets himself up as 'Dr. All-Knowing' - complete with a suit, a sign, and an ABC book. He then proceeds, with much luck and the help of his daughter, to help a wealthy man find his stolen money. The illustrations spread out on larger-than-usual pages add spice and personality to all the characters. A delightful retelling of a rarely-heard tale.
