Nabeel's New Pants: An Eid Tale

24 pp. | Cavendish | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7614-5629-2 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Proiti Roy. For Eid (the Muslim celebration following Ramadan), shoemaker Nabeel buys new clothing for his family. He also buys fine-but-too-long-pants for himself. The shopkeeper doesn't have time to shorten them; neither, at first, do his wife, daughter, or mother--so Nabeel takes matters into his own hands. The amusing tale (an Indian import) is illustrated with bold gouache and India-ink paintings. Glos.
