Proiti Roy.
While preparing chapatis (Indian flat bread) with his mother, a young boy plays with the dough: a long rope becomes a snake; a patted-down ball, a mouse. But how will he prevent the animals from actually coming alive? Mom has the solution: "Roll it up, quick, quick!" Warm-toned illustrations keep attention centered squarely on mother and son. A recipe is included.
