The writing flows, the boys are wisecracking, and the tales celebrate shrewdness, friendship despite differences in social status, Solomonic insight, and fairness. . . . Lighthearted, brief tales of common sense, virtue, and valor, perfect for reading aloud.

Fairness, patience, honesty, and goodness prevail in all situations. An entertaining, expressive read-aloud.
—Booklist
This clever book presents a collection of short stories woven together into one longer narrative. . . Elementary aged readers will love these two quick-thinking friends and enjoy reading about their escapades. The book is broken down into four chapters with small black-and-white illustrations scattered throughout. These attributes, coupled with the fast pace and generous text spacing, combine to make this book a good choice.
—School Library Connection
The spirited problem-solvers Prince Veera and his friend Suku return in a second collection of short tales from India, ‘A Sliver of Moon and a Shard of Truth,’ a slender volume written by Chitra Soundar and ornamented with charming black-and-white pictures by Uma Krishnaswamy. . . . a brisk and entertaining read.
