ANNOTATION
Tells how the first Persian carpet was created to replace King Balash's lost treasure.

Publisher's Weekly
DePaola ( Strega Nona ) retells--but does not illustrate--a legend about the origin of the jewel-patterned Persian rug. King Balash's brilliant giant diamond is stolen by a stranger who accidentally drops it onto a rocky plain, where the jewel shatters into thousands of glittering fragments. When apprentice carpet-weaver Payem leads the ruler to the ``carpet'' formed by the dazzling fragments, the overwhelmed king refuses to leave the beautiful sight behind. To lure their leader back to his palace, Payem and his fellow apprentices weave a silk carpet as brilliantly colored as the one made of diamond. A parable of the healing powers of art, this foray into the rich culture of the Middle East is ably recounted. Ewart's illustrations, with their unremarkable compositions and stiff, look-alike figures, are less pleasing. Ages 4-8. (Oct.)

School Library Journal
Gr 1-2-Although he does not cite a specific source, dePaola presents a picture-book version of a Persian legend. The story follows typical folkloric patterns as it tells of a wise and kindly king whose problems are solved by a poor but resourceful boy. In this case, King Balash's troubles stem from the theft of a large diamond that used to fill his palace with light. Payam, an apprentice weaver, finds the shards that remain where the thief dropped the gem. He persuades the king to rule for one year and a day while he, his fellow apprentices, and the master work together to create a magnificent carpet that will once again bring light and color to his home. The task, of course, is accomplished, and a happy ending is assured. Ewart's glowing illustrations in deep jewel tones are well suited to the text and capture something of the exotic flavor of ancient Persia's craftsmanship. An attractive collaboration that deserves a place in many libraries.-Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

BookList
DePaola's legion of fans will be surprised by this Persian legend retold but not illustrated by him. He tells in simple, direct prose of King Mamluk, whose prized diamond fills his palace with the light and color of a "million rainbows." However, when the gem is stolen by a stranger and shattered, the ruler is overcome by despair. In response, a young weaver shepherds the other apprentices to create a dazzling carpet that will put the king back on the throne. Although somewhat repetitive, the atmospheric jewel-tone watercolors have a strong sense of color and light and shadow. While there's neither reward nor punishment for the hero and thief, respectively, and oriental rugs aren't the hottest topic with schoolchildren, this is an acceptable choice for large folklore collections. Includes source information. - Julie Corsaro
