Technicolor weirdness
This is an amazing document. It preserves hundreds of colorful posters used in India to teach children about health, history, animals, and good manners. All done in an array of amazing primitive styles. It's a source book that every artist and illustrator should own. Big and glossy.

Does not help people
This book does not help boys become better, but rather encourages them to laugh at the illustrations. Maybe if it was a newer book or more contemporary or even more modern it would be better to read. But at it is, it is just a target for derision.

This is a fine quality book, and a well compiled collection of virtually unpublished images! Very good stuff.

Is it seriously intended to help?,
By Catherine "Cat" (Leesville La, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ideal Boy, An: Charts from India (Hardcover)
I love these because they're hilarious. The health things are so ridiculous. Apparantly, if your child chokes on water, the best thing to do is shake him by his feet until he's better - and don't even dare speak while sharpening your pencil - you might just shove it up your nose. It also reminds you to "Never live in shaky house" I love it!

Genius...pure genuis,
By Amy Louise (Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ideal Boy, An: Charts from India (Hardcover)
Okay...so i haven't exactly read all of the book but there is a site that has a couple excerts from it.[...] and i think it is definately worth a look before you buy. I'm about to buy it because of this site. This book is obviously out of date and now is just sheer fun. I was in histerics from what i saw. The banana peels.... i never knew they were so dangerous. Buy this book and your definately in for a laugh.
