The Monkey Who left his Heart at Home

& other fables

(Ages 4 - 8)
Review by Raj Ganesan

This was a "blah" book. There's nothing specifically wrong with this book, but nothing that really stands out either. The pages are not numbered, there is no index. The illustrations are adequate. CBT has a Panchatantra series, Amar Chitra Katha has several comics, and Karadi Tales has audio tales of most of these stories. So there's no reason to go out and buy this book. Raj Ganesan lives in the Bay Area and loves telling children stories.

Book Description: Contains 5 popular animal stories from the Panchatantra. This book has the following stories:
1. The Singing Donkey
2. The Monkey Who Left His Heart At Home (AKA the monkey and the crocodile)
3. The Crow's Revenge (AKA The Crow and The Serpent)
4. The Nosy Monkey
5. The Insistent Tailor Bird
