A wonderful book for children and adults interested in Hinduism. The illustrations are spectacular. Even though the story is from an ancient time the lessons learned are about life and showcase the importance of a mothers love for her child, a theme that will cross all language barriers.
I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish it had been longer. Great artwork and wonderful summaries of Krishna's boyhood days.
I have a 4-year-old godson and I try to buy him books from every culture. So far he has African, Japanese, Latin American and Native American books and he loves them all. Since I am of East Indian descent I couldn't wait to find him a book from my culture. I ordered this book based on other reviews and on the beautiful illustrations. However, I haven't given it to him yet as I am not sure if he is ready to have a book where demons have their heads cut off. Maybe I'm overreacting but there is blood in some of the illustrations and even though it's a beautiful book I may wait until he is a bit older and has been more exposed to the idea of violence. Even when it is for the greater good, I'm not sure I want him to go there yet. If anyone can recommend another Indian children's book that is more age-appropriate I would be grateful. As for the seller, I give a full rating as the book arrived on time and in perfect condition.
Little Krishna captures the essence of the birth of krishna, his childhood, & end of Kansa. The illustrations are a work of art indeed. The language used is simple and not harsh, easy on the minds of young children, although at some places the harshness cannot be avoided. The book is laid out in small chapters, so one can read as few or as many stories as they wish at a time. One can even skip some stories, as it does not affect the flow of the story. I would highly recommend the book for all parents who want to explore and teach young kids about Little Krishna
