About the Author
Carrying on in the nonsense-verse tradition of Dr. Seuss, Edward Lear and Lewis Caroll, the witty and jubilant poetry-tales of Indian writer Anushka Ravishankar are internationally acclaimed, widely translated, and honoured with innumerable awards. Anushka has authored over 18 books. An exciting voice in contemporary Indian writing, Sirish Rao has authored over eighteen books, ranging from novels to children's books, re-tellings of myths to pop art collections. HIs books have won international awards and have been translated into several languages. His writing reflects his interest in nature, mountaineering, travel, eccentric people and the oddities of language. Durga Bai is a young woman tribal artist from the Gond tradition of central India. Gond is a ritual and functional art style with distinctive decorative elements, mostly painted on walls of houses, using natural colours. Durga Bai constantly re-works and pushes the borders of the Gond art form to create art that sparkles with a distinctive energy.
Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 1–This delightful book encourages active participation and close observation. As the number of animals in a tree increases from 1 dizzy ant to 10 hefty elephants, children are encouraged to spot and count them. One spread clearly identifies the number, the word, and corresponding animals. A turn of the page shows the same animals on the tree limbs, which are executed in black-and-white lines on a colorful background. As each new number is presented, the tree "grows" with the corresponding number of creatures. The newest additions are in bold colors; the previously introduced animals blend into the branches, turning the book into a game to find them. Children will enjoy the humor as each new group tries to find space in the tree. This book introduces youngsters to the traditional Gond art from central India, and is a showpiece for the artist's skillful work.–Margaret R. Tassia, Millersville University, PA
