Forever Friends : The Gods and Their Vahanas – Chitwan Mittal and Kalyani Ganapathy

Description

‘You’ll find me in every temple to Shiva. Come hear my story!’ says the big, friendly bull.

‘I wasn’t always Kartikeya’s peacock. Want to know who I used to be?’ asks the pretty peacock.

‘I have the best job in the world. You’ll never guess what it is!’ says the bright green parrot.

These are no ordinary animals. They’re very special friends to some powerful gods and goddesses and they all have important jobs to do. Read on to find out about these (and more!) vahanas and hear all their interesting stories!

This illustrated book about vahanas is a great way to introduce kids to some of the best-known animals in Hindu mythology. It can be read aloud to toddlers and preschoolers (2–4 year olds) or read independently by emerging readers (4–7 year olds).
