one of our new favorites! have read and re-read. ( )

I wanted to like this story, I really did, but I get the feeling this is translated from Hindi and simply lost all the beauty in the translation. I loved the illustrations but the poem was just boring. ( )

Gorgeous illustrations, a hindi lullaby , glossary of hindi words in the back, lots of good sound words. Very poetic and sing-songy, not really appropriate for storytime, a bit long. ( )
