The Talkative Tortoise/Baatuni Kachhua (English-Hindi)

Author : Jeeva Raghunath
Illustrator : Shailja Jain

Yak yak yak... the tortoise loves to talk – and learns the hard way that keeping his mouth shut is sometimes very necessary! The clipped narrative style pares the original fable from the Panchatantra down to its essence with dramatic effect in this bilingual retelling. It is offset by decorative, detailed illustrations in the style of kalamkari textiles from Andhra Pradesh.
