Critics Review
“Inspired by ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and the popular Tamil rhyme ‘Dosai! Amma, Dosai,’ the story is a whimsical magical trip. The illustrations rely on intricate patterns with traditional Indian touches in the clothing, utensils, and family’s warm shades of brown….for many readers, it will open the door to a world of fantastical beasts. An unconventional twist on a well-known tale.” * Kirkus Reviews *This Tamil-nursery-rhyme-inspired rendition of the Gingerbread Man tale (Run, run as fast as you can!) features a plucky dosa who escapes from the breakfast table and leads two children through a magical forest. If you’re familiar with the mythology, the book is a fun way to see the king of the vultures, multiheaded elephant, and other fantastical creatures reimagined to fit the story. But even if you’re not, the lush illustrations of our round, mischievous dosa friend frolicking through a verdant jungle and catchy rhyme-The more you eat, the more you crave / You can’t catch me, no matter how brave!-make this a silly read for all ages. * Bon Appétit *
