Kadooboo!: A Silly South Indian Folktale

By Shruthi Rao and Shruthi Rao

Book Overview

Kadooboo Golden brown, puffy, sweet, and crunchy, it's fresh from the pan--a delicious treat

As soon as it's ready, Kabir runs home with some to share.
He's got to be quick, before the rain But wait ... can he remember the treat's name? (His Amma is sure to ask )

Of course he can. That is, if fun and friends aren't too distracting along the way.

As Kabir makes his way, the sights and sounds of the street and interactions with friends start to jumble his memory. A cool new comic, and suddenly the treat is book-oo-doo When a ball whizzes toward him--duck-oo-boo With so much fun to be had, Kabir reaches home with a trail of friends ... and a jumble of names. Could he possibly remember the right one?

This modern retelling of a South Indian folktale blends playful wordplay with delightfully quick pacing in a story about friends, family, and food--the perfect recipe for a satisfying story time.
