5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for children!, April 29, 2004
A Kid's Review
Seasons of Splendor by Michal R. is a really great book because it has Indian tales. Two of my favorite tales in this book have my favorite characters: Lakshmi and the Cleaver Washer Woman the characters in that tale are: Lakshmi the king, and the cleaver washerwoman. The second tale is called How Ganesh got his elephant head the characters in that tale are Parvati, Shiva, and Gnash the baby. It has Indian tales. The pictures explain part of the story. One of the tales are How Ram killed the devil king Ravan.
The picture of Prahlad falling of the mountain shows as he lands without getting hurt. You might like these old myths and tales from India. My favorite myth is called How Ganesh got his elephant head.

You should read it to learn about Indian things.
