I was looking for a book with Indian/Asian look and feel for our 6 month old baby boy when I found this book. Needless to say, it immediately caught his attention as did the tape that comes along with it. Story telling, songs and teaching numbers, colours are well balanced along with adding a moral to the story. The audio tape helps to indentify the concepts related in the book. Overall, I found the book+tape delightful as did our baby. In fact, my 7 year old nephew also liked it so much that I gave it to him. Now, I need to buy another copy for our son! The only thing that dissapointed me was the accent the narrators put on while narrating the story and singing the songs. It sounded quite artificial!

A truly outstanding series of books with a brilliant soundscape of Asian sounds and stories. So different and enthralling for children who normally get to hear and read more commercial and mainstream fare. Perhaps the the stories could be longer or packaged together.. When my son heard the first, I was compelled to buy many more.

It's a wonderful audio collection book. All the Karadi tales are really good. It comes in both 3& above and 4 and above age group. the 3 and above age group books are written in rhyme and prose filled with songs and picture. I purchased almost all the Karadi tales. It takes your child into the imaginary world with exciting narration and music. It has a very good educational value. My child loves these tales. I wish every child get an opportunity to enjoy this book.

KARADI TALES - Series

Several of the stories are familiar, yet presented in fresh light......The well done narration is performed by South Asian actors..... The read-along books, intended for beginning readers, will be useful in classrooms.

The audiobook features an Indian heritage classic - a timeless story of a monkey king who sets an example for an ideal ruler. Excellent script and illustrations. Narration by eminent actor Saeed Jaffrey enlivens the story. Music and songs are apt and grow on you slowly but surely. A "must buy".
