The Rabbit In The Moon: Two Tales From The Panchatantra

Meena Arora Nayak . Aleph Book Company . English

In the royal bedroom, a king sleeps soundly while two tiny creatures�a louse and a bedbug�watch him from the folds of his soft sheets. Both want a taste of the king�s blood, but each has a different plan for how to get it. Who will succeed, and who will be squashed by the royal staff? Meanwhile, in a faraway jungle, Lambakarna, a clever rabbit, must find a way to protect his tribe after a pack of wild elephants wreak havoc. Can Lambakarna concoct a plan to outwit the king of elephants and save his friends? These exciting tales are the perfect introduction to the magical world of the <i>Panchatantra</i>, perhaps the oldest surviving collection of Indian fables. Retold in easy-to-read prose and vibrantly illustrated, this collection will captivate young readers.
