<b> </b> âThe disputes are engaging and I enjoyed the bookâs almost anecdotal tone, and that thereâs always a moral accompanying the joke. [âŚ] The black and white line drawings break up the text so that itâs less overwhelming for very young readers â the way itâs laid out, it is perfectly suitable for six-year-olds. Itâs an interesting way of introducing children to the concept of fairness and judging for themselves while assessing two sides of the story, which arenât always obvious, to prove right or wrong.â
The School Librarian
âThese clever and funny trickster tales are inspired by Indian folklore and will delight and entertain readers from all cultures.â
