Amma, Tell Me About Ramayana!

I bought this book after a friend's recommendation. My son loves books. Although he can't read, he loves watching the images and listening to them when we read them out to him. I have been teaching the concept of god to him and this book is helping me in that as well. It is a rhyme that explains Ramayana in such a simple way to kids. The illustrations are so good and descriptive.

It's not well written. The language is not great, the poem is not in meter. The story is also rendered inspiring. I wish the writer had tried to inculcate in the story what she had written as it's conclusion.

It's a nice and quick way to introduce young children to the epic story of Ramayana. My 3.5 year old looks at with great interest. I tone down the language a bit (as I like to use Hindi).My only issue is that some of the illustrations are exactly the same as those in "Amma tell me about Diwali" so there is no point in buying both the books.

My 3 year old daughter has been showing a lot of interest in reading these days. So i thought to introduce Mythology books to her. Came across this one through a friend. I read it to her before bedtime and the book keeps her engrossed. I will Surely order more from the series.

Beautiful illustrations. My kid loves to tell the story by looking at all the pictures.

Great books on mythology. Easy for 4 yr old to understand.

I am in love with this book.I purchased for my daughter and really recommend

My 4 year old twin boys love it... Simple with good illustrations make it a fun read.

I bought this book together with Amma tell me about Diwali and Amma tell me about Holi. I was hoping to find books that explained the hindu mythology in a way that my 5 year old would enjoy and understand.These books are very beautifully illustrated. Like the Gheehappy books, the illustrator worked at Disney and the quality shows on every page. However, I found the prose a little annoying. In some places it tries to rhyme, and sometimes does not do that well. In others, the rhyme is completely dropped. So the rhythm of the book does not flow. My kiddo is used to books by e.g. Julia Donaldson where a lot of thought has gone into the text, the rhyming and the way that the story flows so I don't think she'll enjoy these as much.It's not worth buying both Amma tell me about Diwali and Amma tell me about Ramayana as the stories are the same more or less. The Diwali one includes a short story about Lakshmi. I think it would have been better to have an additional chapter in the Ramayana one or maybe expand the Diwali one to include more of the Ramayana story.

Illustrations are so bad. All the characters look the same. Stories are just pedantic. Definitely cannot compare to my grandmamas stories.

The story has been abridged a little too much. I bought it for my 6 yr old. It is good as an introduction to Ramayana. I am now reading him the Amar Chitra Katha version...which a little too detailed for him. He is able to relate to the Amma Tell Me About version as I read the detailed one. I wish there was something in between.

wow...my daughter knows all the important characters in Ramayana...she is 2yrs old and loves this book.

Great illustrations. A modern take on a classic. Obviously geared towards South Indian readers, but is still good overall. Love it.
