Synopsis

Why is the cow useful to everyone? How are the earth and the cow similar? Why is Gauri another name for a cow? Little girl Gauri thinks milk comes from packets, till she meets Sweety the talking cow. Sweety tells Gauri about the first cow on earth, Surabhi, and how she provided so many useful things to man fuel, manure, medicine and shelter. Sweety narrates stories about a king who found good luck because he gifted cows to many people, and how another king was turned into a lizard because he was not careful about who he gave his cows to! Sweety also tells Gauri how Krishna the cowherd looked after his beloved animals, and why Kali decided to comb her hair.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Srithi

Simple and fun read for kids of 6+ age......more

not bad for kid reading ... i think he could have written even better, simplified the stories on Nruga and Indradyumna a little more and made it believable. Otherwise he should come and answer questions that 6 year olds have for their dads!!......more
