The Poombah of Badoombah

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-399-22778-4
(4) K-3 This lively fantasy told in rhyme and set in Bombay is marred by a rather half-hearted ending. Otherwise, this humorous story of a mischievous old man who creates mayhem with a magic stick will certainly delight readers. Hawkes's illustrations are filled with the color, energy, and details of the Indian setting. A brief glossary of terms such as 'rajah', 'nabob', and 'dervish' precedes the text.
