This links to Aruna's Bilingual Book for Children. This bilingual book (German - English) by Aruna Samivelu is part of a series of stories adapted from one of India's most Ancient works: The Panchatantra. The Panchatantra stories offer in their own humorous way, little nuggets of truth, which have transcended time and space and are relevant not only across cultural borders, but also across age barriers. Set along the lines of the Fables children in Europe are used to, the Panchatantra clearly shows us, that there are more similarities than differences in peoples all over the world. Although categorized under children's literature, it is meant for both the young and the not so young readers. The younger readers will find some stories that millions of Indian children love and also pictures they can color; and the older ones some fodder to chew on. This book is especially suitable for bilingual children and can be read aloud to younger children. For ages 4 and upward.
