Reshma Sapre offers us a charming retelling of a wry and very amusing folk tale from India about a traveller, a devious tiger who outwits him, and an even more devious jackal who saves the day. Jessica Lian's illustrations are lovely and evocative.--Christopher Cerf, Creator/Producer: Sesame Street"
