This Indian folktale book was so cute and exciting. The pictures were beautiful and really embodies the colorful culture of India. The tale about the elephant and his dog friend was one of my favorite ones from the book. The style of images are almost comic like which is one of children‘s favorite styles from my past experiences!

Traditional lit. The Elephant‘s Friend and Other Tales from Ancient India is an interesting book with lots of stories. Each story has a very important lesson for children to learn. I think children will really enjoy the pictures and stories.
