The author started writing this book when she was about 8 years old and simultaneously illustrated them in very vivid cute drawings which depicted the characters aptly and most importantly differentiated them from each other.
Each story/ chapter covers about 2 pages and are written in a language that children can understand- extremely simple and child friendly and explains the complex accounts very well.
I would strongly recommend this book for kids who are comfortable reading because it is a big book and I suppose kids around 8- 10 years of age would appreciate it.
Considering I read the Amar Chitra Katha Ramayana when I was in class 1, albeit very slowly and taking at least a good 1 month, I expect a little better from my kids whose reading in school was much advanced than mine!
