Old Animals Forest Band, The by Sirish Rao
In this much-loved Indian version of a Grimm Brothers' folktale, four old animals become friends after their masters kick them out for being useless - and together prove themselves to be anything but! The band of charming characters comes to life in celebrated Gond artist Durga Bai's delightful and quirky artwork.
As well as being a good introduction to Indian tribal art, The Old Animals Forest Band would be excellent to read aloud and could even be adapted as a performance pieceIt might also form the basis of discussions about friendship, old age and tolerance.' www.writeaway.org.uk
