Meet Takloo who lives in Anjarle, “a small village in the far, far west of India,” not too far south of Mumbai. “If you went further west, you would be a fish in the ocean.” Takloo lives with his mother and father, and his beloved dog Moti, surrounded by trees, squirrels, and people who are “different shades of brown: dark and light brown.”
One day, his father brings home a bag of salt so enormous that his mother angrily shouts that their small house has no room for such an oversized burden. Takloo, at 5, who is “naughty but … also very smart,” has a most ingenious idea. With the help of the nearby potter and the a pot that was “just the right size,” clever Takloo proves his early entrepreneurial talents and makes his parents “very proud of their smart little boy!”
