We're always on the hunt for new bedtime stories, as well as short story collections to encourage growing independent readers. This black-and-white illustrated series achieves both with stories of Indian folklore.

Chitra Soundar is a master at storytelling and folklore, and in this series, each book explores four different trickster tales of the young Prince Veera, Prepare to meet dung-dropping, sweet-stealing, luck-jinxing villains as well as clever puzzles in each story.

We love these Indian tales and they are a perfect way of exploring culture and history for Kids Who Love Myths & Legends too.

All the Chitra Soundar's Stories from India books in order:

Book 1: A Dollop of Ghee and a Pot of Wisdom (2010)
Book 2: A Jar of Pickles and a Pinch of Justice (2016)
Book 3: A Sliver of Moon and a Shard of Truth (2021)
