We got this book for one of our friend's kid and I was also quite impressed by the ethnic prints and llustrations used. <BR/><BR/>Most of the books by Tulika are excellent and worth buying. The mention of the "ethnic touches" brought to my mind another Tulika book which I have seen. It is called the "Magic vessels" and based on a folk tale from Tamil nadu. The book has some beautiful illustrations of the culture of Tamilnadu in the form of - people eating a feast from a banana leaf, the mud walls of a village house painted with kolam designs, pots (mann pannai) painted again with kolam patterns and a few other things which I am not able to recollect right away.ranjani.sathishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10450770799790366871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-88852720885760485212007-07-18T14:45:00.000-07:002007-07-18T14:45:00.000-07:00Wow.

Picked up a lot of things...and most importantly to give the ethnic art on my favorite t-shirt a name - warli folkart!<BR/>One of Dr.Seuss books that we read called 'Because the little bug went Ka-choo' is similar in concept (the domino effect triggered by the bug's sneeze). I like the mango tree and crow sort of ethnic touches in this one. And an excellent tip to memorize the sequence. I am also checking out the inspiring author's website. Thanks!!!Meera Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920643047652671176noreply@blogger.com
