Summary: ENCHANTING AND CLEVER!
Review: As an expectant mother, I am already thinking about how I will teach wisdom to my son. The Birbal Tales are not only chock full of wise and clever pearls, but are totally charming at the same time! I have ordered ten copies to give to other expectant couples and my friends who already have children! When will we see Birbal cartoons on TV or video???!!! Soon, I hope!

Summary: Great introduction to Indian Tales
Review: My seven year old loved these tales about clever Birbal. A great way to introduce her to a different culture. Also good morals in the tales

Summary: Great Bedtime Book for School-Age Kids
Review: This is one of those books that both parents and children will equally enjoy. My children are older now, but we still read together at night as a family "closing ceremony." An intelligent, funny book this like one just makes the experience so much more memorable. Our family reads a lot, but we've never read anything like The Birbal Tales. It is literally outstanding in its combination of history, world culture, cleverness, and surprise endings.
