5.0 out of 5 stars a lovely tale very well told, 15 Oct 2002

By A Customer

This book is delightfully illustrated and lovingly told. it can be read as scary or as soothing as you choose. The beautiful illustrations show life in an Indian village, without any direct reference in the text. There is so much more to talk about than the story.

I've come to Amazon to find out what other books there are in the series, because me and my two little girls (aged 2 and 4) want to read more and more of these and learn how different cultures view things that are common and everyday.

Buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a beautiful tale!!, 6 Jun 2006

By	sal (york, UK) - See all my reviews

as a student teacher i'm constantly looking for new stories and poems - i was delighted to come across this book and took great pleasure in reading it to my class. The children range from 4 to 7 but all loved the story. My animal mad year 2's thought it was brillant whilst the very youngest put it down to magic!! i would recommend this book to anyone with children of any age or those who are still young at heart!!

5.0 out of 5 stars lovely Indian Tiger book, 29 Oct 2009

By	S. B. Cheney (Sussex) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this lovely text for use as part of our keystage 2 India topic. The text is quite simple and I use it as starter for some artwork and poetry for the whole class.
