Animals have been revered in India from ancient time. Animals have also been used in the form of symbols in India. The Hindus, Buddhists and the Jains use the elephant as a religious symbol. One can see the elephant carved in numerous temples all over the country. This book is a treasure trove of facts, rhymes and details about various animals of India in a story format and at the end of the book are activities that can be used to teach children about sequencing, counting, comparing, following directions, finding differences, similarities and other higher order thinking skills (also called coding skills!). Enjoy this book as a storybook, a fact book and an activity book.
