Eat, My Fur Coat, Eat

In honor of Türkiye’s 100th Anniversary, Eat, My Fur Coat, Eat brings young readers a playful tale based on the clever Nasreddin Hodja. When Hodja is turned away from a banquet because of his shabby clothes, he returns in a fine fur coat—setting the stage for a humorous lesson in appearances.

At the banquet, Hodja famously feeds his coat, showing that people often value image over substance. His quick thinking and humor teach a simple but powerful message: true worth comes from within.

Blending fun, culture, and wisdom, this tale delights children while encouraging creativity, confidence, and resilience. A perfect mix of laughter and learning, it's a timeless story for young readers everywhere.
