Abstract

en_US Music, poetry, storytelling, and lively color come together to make each of these book/cassette sets attractive. Each tape starts with a song in which Karadi introduces himself as a teller of stories. Karadi's nephew cubs are arguing and fighting as he arrives on Sunday, story-telling day. Their squabbling evokes this good story of friendship. The story is told in traditional fashion, except that a mole replaces the usual rat. The tortoise wears spectacles. The visual of the hunter running from the scene includes a ghost that is only suggested in the text as a fear of that some strange spirit would follow him. Dondu is the donkey star of the second story. He likes to sing. He once grew fat on his favorite cucumbers. Contentment with his cucumbers led him one evening to sing out. The villagers came and beat him. This simple Panchatantra story is new to me. The books and audio cassette come together in a cardboard package. Though I will list each set under both books and audio cassettes, I will keep them together in their packages under books.
