Prolific author D.R. Tara is back with the 6th book in the ‘Illustrated Moral Stories for Children’ series. Just like the five books that came before it, ‘Bird’s Eye and Other Stories’ is very entertaining and highly enjoyable. It is quite clear that the themes that are introduced in the stories are geared towards older children. This could very well be categorized under children’s books by ages 9-12.Love, death, friendship, and anger are some of the themes in this latest iteration, cleverly told in the tradition of folklore myths and legends. The short stories will also appeal to parents who want to teach their children important values early in life.What’s really great about this latest book in the series is the uniqueness of the stories. It’s nothing quite the usual fare of children’s books available in the market. It has that multicultural vibe that appeal to readers from various ethnic backgrounds. It’s books like this that can make children develop an interest in reading.
