## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great telling of a classic Bengali Folktale
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2015*

Interesting and well told Indian folk tale. Has a fun verse kids can repeat with the reader.  The illustrations are very good -- bright  and clear color. Good for school units on tales from other cultures. So many fun activities to go along with the story make this a great addition to a classroom library.I am familiar with the author's adult works -- this is the only picture book I could find by her. I would like to see some more from this author & illustrator.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Whole family enjoys this tale
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015*

My 2 year old LOVES this story, the onomatopoeia and illustrations almost as much as I love reading it to him. I bought this with my love of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's writing in mind and her retelling of this Bengali folktale does not disappoint. Coupled with Susy Pilgrim Waters' illustrations, the resourcefulness of Grandma is transformed into a magnetic and magical experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautiful illustration and narration
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2013*

This book was much loved by me and my daughters. The folk tale is something I have grown up with but the author's narration makes the book timeless.Two remarkable features of the book for me were the use of onomatopoeia and the vibrant colors in each page.Prefect for 3-8 year olds
