Balarama:
A Royal Elephant
by Lewin and Lewin
How would you like
to weigh 11,000 pounds?
How much of your room would you take up if you were 21 feet long and 11
feet tall?
If you were that big and lived in India, what would your life be like?
How would people treat you? Would you be in danger?
If you chased children, what do you think would happen?
When it was
time for the big celebration in Mysore, what do
you think YOU would be expected to do?
In Balarama: A Royal Elephant by authors and illustrators, Ted and Betsy Lewin, you will discover the answers to these and many other questions about these elephants and the traditions in India. It might even make you want to travel to the extraordinary destination of India for next year's celebration.
