The bold, bright colors of India leap off the page in this fresh and
funny picture book retelling of how Ganesha came to help write the epic
poem of Hindu literature, the Mahabharata. Ganesha is just like any
other kid, except that he has the head of an elephant and rides around
on a magical mouse. And he loves sweets, but when Ganesha insists on
biting into a super jumbo jawbreaker laddoo, his tusk breaks off! With
the help of the wise poet Vyasa, and his friend Mr. Mouse, Ganesha
learns that what seems broken can be quite useful after all. With
vibrant, graphic illustrations, expressive characters, and offbeat
humor, this is a wonderfully inventive rendition of a classic tale.
