Tales about the Gods in child language

dhans · Oct 7th, 2005, 04:52

Hi,

We are going to India and we willtake our kids (5 and 3 years old). In order to explain some of the things they are going to see (and to better understand them ourselves ;-) ) we are looking for stories about the gods, the ramayana, folk tales etc. in child language.

We've tried to google it , but didn't really find any appropiate stuff. Can anybody point the way.

You can get picture books from Amar Chitra Katha (Translation: Amar Picture Story):

You can buy them in US on Amazon:

If you wait until you get there you can pick them up at most major train stations for about 20-50 rupees (can't remember exactly, but they were cheap) - they're in English and have nice pictures. Just look out for the guys with the book barrows.

Hello Hans,

I suppose your kids understand the dutch language?
If so, then try this website, I think it's an excellent way to explain all about all sorts of religion.
