At the edge of the village of Champakpur stands an old banyan tree that has watched over the fields for three hundred years. Every evening, when the cows come home and the sky turns orange, the children gather under its long hanging roots, and the tree tells them a story. Four of its tales are beloved fables from the Panchatantra and the Jataka, retold with fresh fun and dialogue. Four are brand-new stories about peacocks, langurs, river dolphins and tigers. Each one ends with a simple lesson and a quiz. Perfect for reading aloud to children aged 6 to 12.
