5.0 out of 5 stars Jataka/Buddhist classic - great illustrations, November 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Alot of Jataka stories for children have really second rate illustrations; they are just not inspiring. This one is a first class retelling of a Jataka/Buddhist classic, with really lovely illustrations to match the fantastic story. Basically, the moral lesson of the story (indicative of all Jataka stories) is that you should use your reason and decide things for yourself, rather than just doing or believing something because others say so. I was not blown away by this book (partly because there is alot of US spelling, which is a bit off-putting for my Aussie-English tastes) but I do think it is one of the few children's Dharma books (that I have seen) actually worth having. Suitable for age 2-8
