Shulevitz, U. (2003). The treasure. Pine Plains , NY
This story tells of a poor man named Isaac. After ignoring recurring dreams that told him to go search for a treasure in a certain location, he finally decides to do just that. The colorful illustrations take us through Isaac’s journey to get to the royal palace in order to search for the treasure. The colors and images help set a calm mood along with the text. As he arrives to the bridge, there are guards. The captain asks Isaac why he was there and laughed at him. The captain thought it was such a silly thought that he told of his own recurring dream of going to Isaac’s house and looking under his stove for treasure. Isaac returns to his home, searches under his stove, and finds a treasure. He was never poor again and even sent the captain a priceless ruby. Simple, but great story line.
