Clever Prince Veera and his best friend, Suku, are back in a vibrant new collection of stories riddled with surprises. When the prince's great uncle, Raja Apoorva, invites the boys to the summer festival in Peetalpur, Prince Veera and Suku are excited to compete in the games. It's no easy feat to make the peahen sing (when peahens can't sing) or defeat the country's champion wrestler, but Raja Apoorva's riddles prove the ultimate test of the boys' wit and wisdom. Who owns the tree that provides the palace figs? What intruder dared pull the Raja's beard? And what are the secrets of the holy man and the astronomer? Packed with glorious trickster tradition, wise-cracking dialogue, and gemlike illustrations, these festive tales of two fast-thinking friends will captivate readers of all ages. 505 0 $a Festivals are fun -- Families do quarrel -- No figs for an unholy saint -- An improbable dream. 521 2 $a Gr. 1 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 2 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 3 $b UNI 521 2 $a Gr. 4 $b UNI 521 8 $a 720L $b Lexile 650 0 $a Tales $z India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Folklore $z India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Princes $z India $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Hindu mythology $v Juvenile fiction. 650 7 $a Princes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01076481 650 7 $a Tales. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01142246 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a Folk tales. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921662 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Folk tales. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Myths. $2 lcgft 700 0 $a Uma Krishnaswamy, $e illustrator. 941 $a 6 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021549.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011625.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230329010228.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011557.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020412.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221203065733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87987A8472D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
