“What captivates you immediately is the vibrant and multi-hued illustrations which are extremely different from the other comics that we have grown up with. The attention to detail for every scene is one of the reasons why this collection of children’s stories is one of my personal favourites.”
– Anwesha Barari, Boldsky.com

“I read the book to my three-year old and she enjoyed the story and loved the beautiful illustrations. When she grows up and hears/reads the story of the Ramayana, she’ll be able to understand how certain characters in the epic got their powers.”
