Wanting a son, an old man and woman make a clay boy who comes to life and begins eating everything in sight until he meets a clever goat...In this engaging retelling of a Russian folktale, an old man finds a piece of clay and fashions it into a boy. As soon as the clay boy dries out by the fire, he jumps up and cries, 'I am here! I am hungry!' He eats and eats, and grows until the clay boy is a giant threatening to devour the whole village.
