The world of monkeys is full of entertaining tales. Brave or wily, quick-thinking or unthinking, each monkey in these tales offers a valuable lesson—a leader who risks his own life to save his band; another who outwits a demon; a third, whose presence of mind helps him fool a greedy crocodile; finally, an eager but foolish monkey who tries his hand at being the king’s gardener for a day. The Jataka Tales are a treasure trove of 550 animal stories that have captivated the folklore of Asia. Well-known and beloved of generations of children, this collection of four stories from the Jataka, presented in a beautifully illustrated and designed edition, is bound to enchant your child and you.
