This picture book achieves the rare balance of entertainment coupled with meaning, while rendering accessible a tale from one of the world's oldest wisdom cultures. In this acclaimed retelling of a story from India's ancient Bhagavata Purana , children emerge victorious over a serpent that haunts the landscape of childhood.

Not only do they defeat their serpentine foe but, in an act of empowerment and imagination, transform his gargantuan body into a playground. Brilliant colors, Seussian imagery, and lyrical text come together to create a satisfying adventure that nurtures the inner resources needed by young minds to cope with life's difficult problems.
