Book Summary
This is a collection of 54 rhymes in 18 Indian languages, with all of them rendered in English as well, in lively adaptations. The first and only alternative to the all-pervasive Mother Goose, Oluguti Tolugutis multilingual approach is an acknowledgement of Indias rich and pluralistic oral tradition. The original poems are presented in their own scripts as well as transliterated using Roman and Devanagari, alongside the friendly, recitable English versions. The collection is a pioneering effort. It is also available online, as an audio e-book that can be downloaded, for a small price, from http://www.storytruck.com/indianrhymes/tulika. This world of elephants, buffaloes, crows, cockroaches, and hattima tim tims where birds call kau kau and trains go chuk chuk, where the rain falls chham chham chham and children dance thai thaka thaka is a must for the home, the school and for reciting out aloud. The energetic and endearing pictures will completely win over child and adult.
