Phoota & Phooti

By Farijan Khan

The story is simply written for very young children. Children love uncomplicated tales, but at the same time, it has moral a value: "When one is powerful, do not terrorize others." The tale is about a big powerful fox that can speak. Children love stories about animals that can speak the human language. Furthermore, the little ones will find it hilarious that a small boy known as Phoota can produce such big wind until it can shock the giant, Pak Musang. Unwitting circumstances enable the children to capture the giant rascal. The children feel triumphant that they were the ones who captured the terrorizing monster and brought peace to the village. Imaginative adults who read the story to little children will love it if they use lots of facial expressions and different intonations when children ask for repeats. Colorful, picturesque illustrations are attractive and will tickle the childrens and adults imagination and fantasy. This book is attractive to little kids, kindergarten teachers, parents, and grandparents who read bedtime stories to small children. It will also be a wonderful present for little kids.

WHO’S TOK BA? TOK BA

INTRODUCTION

Phoota and Phooti was written as a tribute to my father (Tok Ba). He used to tell it to us and then to his grandchildren and he wanted his great grandchildren to know the story after his demise.

It’s a simple story written for young children as children do not like complicated tales. The moral behind this story is that if you are big and powerful, do not terrorize others for people will hate you.

Special thanks to Gooi & Seventh. Tok Ba would have been proud to see our work. Great thanks to Ami,
