 Haroun is a happy cat living in Damascus, Syria. He loves lazing and sleeping on the marble floor next to the fountain in his favorite courtyard. But Haroun has a problem. The fragrance of the beautiful jasmine flowers causes him to sneeze. He decides to eradicate the problem by putting old fish skeletons, chicken bones, and other stinky smells into the jasmine tree pots. However, the jasmine spirit is watching his every move. She is not happy and so she counter attacks Haroun in a funny way. Haroun learns his lesson and peace returns to Damascus. The illustrations are bright and cheery. An author’s note explains more about Damascus, the City of Jasmine. mjw |
