Reviews

[Leena Sidharthan · Rating 5 out of 5]

These are wonderful stories of wit, humour and wisdom.
The cute illustrations make it even more fun to read.

[Pranav · Rating 4 out of 5]

The stories in this book are from the treasure trove of Indian folktales of which not many are known to us. The book starts off with a tiger trying to eat a farmer's bullocks and how the farmer and his wife save their bullocks from the ferocious tiger. The story teaches us an important lesson that no matter how powerful our oponenets are, we can always overpower them using our intelligence. These stories were excellent and I totally recommend this for all of you.
