The Unforgotten Coat / Frank Cottrell Booyce / 42 pages / Notable Children's Recordings 2012

Two brothers from Mongolia come to Julie's school near Liverpool, England.  Julie serves as their Good Guide.  Genghis insists that his little brother must stay with him in fifth grade.  He is afraid that a demon will make his brother vanish.  He makes a cookie in the shape of a boy to fool the demon.  When the cookie is gone the next day, Genghis hopes his ruse has been successful.  Great information on Genghis Khan, the steppes of Mongolia, and school in England.
