CHILDREN'S BOOKS BY SHAH

THE CLEVER BOY AND THE TERRIBLE, DANGEROUS ANIMAL

Idries Shah
Illustrated by Rose Mary Santiago
Hoopoe Books, 2000

When a boy visits another village, he is amazed to find the townspeople terrified of something that—just because they have not seen it before—they mistake for a terrible, dangerous animal. With his own knowledge and by demonstration, he helps them overcome their fears. Ages: 3-8

Rose Mary Santiago's illustrations accentuate the surprise in this story in a clever way that will delight youngsters. This is the second book in this series illustrated by her, following the award-winning best seller, The Farmer's Wife.

'A great choice for anyone looking for a fun folktale with a positive message.'
