A little book to delight kids and their parents, too!

This tale of a Tail highlights the various uses of a tail. It can swish flies away, help fish to swim, enable a monkey to swing from tree to tree, and more.

Part of the Thumb Thumb Book series, the simple text, expressive pictures and the right size makes it a perfect book for the first time readers. The illustrations created by thumbprints will hopefully inspire the parent and the child to launch into creating their own little creatures - real or imaginary for fun-filled hours of togetherness.

In this day and age where people lavish expensive toys and games on kids, this book reiterates the fact that one does not really need them to keep children busy learning and playing. As, demonstrated by Tulika, a little bit of imagination is all one needs.

Educative and fun to boot!
