The Rumor

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kanyika Kini. Old Pandurang is the grumpiest man in the village of Baddbaddpur. One day Pandurang inexplicably coughs up a feather; he tells his wife about it ("but don't tell anyone"), beginning the thread of increasingly wild and more exaggerated accounts passed among the gossipy Baddbaddpurians. Humorous text and lush illustrations reflecting the story's silliness create a unique and entertaining tall tale.
