Product Description

Product Description

Ravi and Anjali are fascinated by their grandfather's stories of India, where the sun is like a ferocious tiger, the wind is like a wild horse, and monsoon rains cascade from the sky like waterfalls. Ravi particularly loves to hear about the festival of Divaali, where parading elephants take pride of place in their grandfather's memories, and he dreams of having an elephant dance to the tune he composes on his flute. In addition to an evocative, beautifully written story, Elephant Dance also contains endnotes on the cultural heritage of India, making it a perfect introduction to Indian life and traditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elephant dance, 14 Jan 2009
By Mrs. Helen Tyler - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An exciting, beautifully illustrated book which introduces children to a country and culture beyond their own. A delight to read aloud to your child or an older child to read alone.
