With repetitive sounds and words that rhythmically roll right through the pages, this story puts the zing back into storytelling and reading aloud. Bright, zesty pictures and dynamic visual text echo the lilt, making it one big book of fun.
A rage with children
His [Ashok Rajagopalan’s] Gajapati Kulapati series is much loved by thousands of children who adore the onomatopoeic words, the repetition and slapstick comedy around the genteel elephant and the villagers. Hamsini Ravi, The Huffington Post
Perfect for bedtime
A simple storyline with a problem which we normally do not think about. Onomatopoeic words like “pachaak” and “hoooosh” and “damaaaal” make it a story-teller’s delight and provide lots of fun for the child. Menaka S, PlusMinus’n’More
A name enough to bring the laughter back into storytelling
A perfectly delightful tale. One that has all the ingredients in place to make it a favourite read of children, younger and somewhat older ones too Young India Books
Read aloud and giggle!
A series with the elephant, Gajapati Kulapati (well, the name itself has us in splits!) is pure brilliance! Gajapati's big sneeze, big splash, big tummy ache and all the mud splashing across the four books are accompanied by bold energetic graphics. A perfectly delightful book to sing along and hold the attention of little ones. @katha_kutuhala_khoj
