Storybook Favorites of India

First off, reading through the list of titles for all the Storybooks for the Indian Epics was absolutely hilarious. The first story that immediately caught my eye though and is one of my favorites is “Hindu Beasts.”



 Brahma


The story really stuck out to me because I love learning about Hinduism. If anyone knows about Hinduism it is that they have so many gods. I have also been taught that it is the oldest religion known to us. I love going into Hindu temples and seeing what gods they have and what the gods represent. It is so fascinating to me! There are always new gods you can learn about and each temple can have as many or different gods as they want. I really found the introduction to be clever and outside of the box. The introduction was set up as telling a bedtime story while telling about three different gods.

The next Storybook I found interesting was “Epic Adventure 21.” I really liked the formatted colors but I did not like the font of the links. I did not know what it actually said until I clicked on them. They were too small and the font was too hard to read. The writer did an awesome job of depicting a love story while explaining about different sites in India. Who does not love a good love story?




When reading the introduction of “With Love From India” it made me so nostalgic. One of my favorite things to do is travel, and I am often gone all summer. I send my family postcards or letters periodically of my travels. The postcards or letters are my way of sharing and communicating to them all what I am experiencing. I find it hard to communicate everything I want to over the phone in such a short time, so writing letters or sending postcards are a good way to share. My family loves it, especially my younger brother. The writer does a fantastic job of really putting herself in the shoes of a traveler going from city to city experiences all that they have to offer.
