Hello, Annette, What about "The Diamond Tree," title story with a witch in a delightful collection of folktales for children by Howard Schwartz and Barbara Rush? It's not a picture book, but totally age appropriate, with one illustration per tale for a child who appreciates storytelling*. *The only other one which comes to mind right now is Dan Bar-El*'s Such a Prince*, a picture book version, a probably more funny than threatening version of "50 Hares and a Princess" in Weinreich's *Yiddish Folktales*, who is given the task to round up the king's hares, or else. Best, Sharon Elswit Author of *The Jewish Story Finder**,* now in SF
