Robi Dobi

The style of the narrative and the choice of contemporary language used gives this traditional Indian tale a very modern appeal. The story is full of onomatopoeic sounds and enchanting adventures with which children of today will be able to relate. The book has eight chapters. Each one contains a complete adventure, however all of them are linked together by the main character, Robi Dobi the elephant. The book is beautifully and vividly illustrated in full colour and black and white thereby bringing to life each adventure. This is a book to read aloud to a class as a whole. It is also eminently suitable for young readers to enjoy for themselves.
