Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant retelling of a southern Asian folktale, an old woman faces fierce predators in the woods. With her wits and a clever granddaughter, she must outsmart a wolf, bear, and tiger. Can resourcefulness and bravery triumph over danger? Discover how this unlikely heroine turns the tables on her beastly adversaries in a tale bursting with color and excitement.

From the publisher

Jessica Souhami’s crisp retelling and vibrant illustrations bring to life a traditional story told throughout southern Asia. Many dangers lie waiting in the woods for a frail, old woman. Fierce, hungry animals in search of their next meal; wolves, bears, and tigers ready to pounce. But, as this outlandish tale proves, if the woman is resourceful and brave and happens to have an equally clever granddaughter, no wolf, bear, or tiger stands a chance against her! Between the crisp text that begs to be read out loud and quirky drawings done in the brilliant colors of India, young readers will cheer as one old lady outwits her beastly adversaries!
