Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-31 00:00:00 Cathy Wiggins When Anayida quarrels with her two brothers over the lunch table, her mother advises her not to let "trifles spoil her day," but the young Armenian girl stubbornly refuses to relent. Sulking at the table, she falls asleep, dreaming of a trip to the market, for the ingredients to make baklava. When a single drop of honey attracts a bee, and the bee a cat, the chain of events set in motion lead to disaster - a lesson Anayida takes to heart, when she wakes up... I was curious, while reading A Drop of Honey, whether the framing story of Anayida was part of the folktale, or just the dream sequence at the market, information not available anywhere in the book. In either case, this a fairly engaging story, although I didn't think it the equal of Bider's other folkloric retelling, The Buried Treasure . The soft, pastel illustrations by Armen Kojoyian are appealing, although his faces were a little too blurry for my taste. All in all, a book I would recommend primarily to readers with a strong interest in Armenian folklore and children's literature.
