Hi Friends,


Today I will talk about books custom made in India like the witty tales of Tenali Raman, Birbal etc. which have been and always be a great learning as well as hugely entertaining books for every child.

Tenali Raman, the favorite court jester of Vijayanagara, finds his popularity bringing him many unwanted enemies. Join him as he teaches his enemies a lesson with his sharp mind and quick-witted antics.

I always loved Tenali Raman, who is always able to outshine any situation due to his wit. Must read for every child.

Ruskin Bond is one author who understands children like very few authors do. His stories are funny but also have a moral to them. His characters are normal people who face everyday difficulties but are still special in their sensitivity, their originality and their adventurous streak. Like millions of other children, I have also loved Ruskin and never miss a chance to read his books even today. 🙂
