Lovely
My husband (Indian) LOVED the book, and so based on that AND the fact that my son listens mesmerized with attention, I give it 5 stars! The stories are very cute and quite comical, and apparently really are 'traditional', as my husband recognized a couple! He also didn't recognize others, and liked them! I really like to bring all my son's heritage to life through books (Indian from my husband and Hispanic from me) and this book is helpful in doing that!

Not for the very young
These are good stories, but the cover is a bit deceptive: these are not stories for the primary grades so much as they are for lower intermediate (i.e., 12 to 14 year olds.) The story concepts are fairly complex, and the length of the stories -- and syntax -- are far beyond the attention skills of your average 6 year old.

Great Book!
It is a great product - very nicely done and very colorful. My son was very interested in reading and looking through this book. My husband (who is from India originally) was also very impressed with it. Great find!

5 year old Japanese boy loves these stories
I bought this book as the first introduction to Indian myth and traditional stories for myself and for my 5 year old son. I read this to my boy before his bed time and he loves it. My son already knew the story of Rama from his kindergarten class but he was happy to find out he knew the story already. The stories and illustrations are fascinating for me as well.
