Ganesha is just like any other kid, except he has the head of an
elephant and rides around on a magical mouse. And he loves sweets,
especially the traditional dessert laddoo. But when Ganesha insists
on biting into a super jumbo jawbreaker laddoo, his tusk breaks
off! Ganesha is terribly upset, but with the help of the wise poet
Vyasa, he learns that what seems broken can actually be quite
useful after all. The bold, bright colors of India leap off the
page in this fresh and funny adaptation of how Ganesha came to
write the epic poem of Hindu literature, the MAHABHARATA. With
vibrant, graphic illustrations, expressive characters, and off-beat
humor, this is a wonderfully inventive twist on a classic tale.

object, there is a flash, and a wisp of smoke that takes the form
of a man. It is a genie, who has been waiting for a hundred years
for someone to rub the lamp and release him. With the riches from
the cave and the genie's magical powers, Aladdin and his mother are
no longer poor. However, the evil wizard has other plans...
