Rupa Raises the Sun

by Marcia Chall, Rosanne Litzinger

Rupa believes that she raises the sun each morning by walking around a fire. However, one day, she gets a blister and cannot raise the sun. This is classic numbskull tale that brings on problems after problem. It is very funny! Both children and adults will laugh out loud.
