    What the heck?
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015*

Basically - ,"What the heck just happened?"  Was my reaction after reading this book.  If you know anything about the story of Lord Ganesha - this tale will leave you scratching your head.  It actually says, "Lord Shiva was not ready for kids." Huh? What is he, an investment banker working overtime to pull in his first million?The author claims that it is a new telling based on a different version of the Ganesha myth.  However, anyone who is familiar with the tale will just be left scratching their heads.  It will be left high on a shelf never to be read again.  As a non-Hindu, I didn't mind the new version of the tale, but that is just me - but it is not my culture, so why would it bother me if it is new.  It it like picking up a bible story told in an "Apocrypha" version - not familiar but non-Christians would not know the difference.The author tries to make it more gentle by suggesting that Ganesha lost his original head in a tragic accident rather than his father cutting it off.  Again, huh?  Mythology can seem violent, but most of the time we are just used to the stories.  There is no need to soften ancient stories to something else and to reduce it to a strange retelling, to fit modern sensibilities.

    Losing your head doesn't have to be all that bad!
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2014*

Absolutely beautifully illustrated and gentler story of how Ganesha obtained his elephant head. Contrary to the better know story where Shiva cuts off the head of Ganesha while he is guarding his mother's bath, this story sees the loss of the baby's head as an accident, when Lord Shani looks at the baby at Parvati's insistence and because of the Lord's power the baby's head disintegrates. To the rescue Lord Vishnu who brings the head of an elephant that sacrificed himself so that the child might live. What a story!

    My favorite Ganesha story
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013*

I'm a Hindu Indian-American raising my 1/4 Indian kids in Kentucky.  I grew up on the standard story of Lord Ganesha - where he battles with Shiva.  I like this version MUCH better.  I bought us a copy after we had it out of the library 3 or 4 times (at the kids' request).  My dad (Hindu Brahmin from Mumbai) liked it also.The illustrations are exquisite with metallic gold highlights in a very understated and elegant application.
