Must have in Kids Library!!
One more addition to our book library for reading bedtime book to kids based on Indian culture. My daughter sees all the book titles mentioned on back cover and she asked me to buy Ganesha’s Birthday book. We read this book to our kids and she was curious to know how Ganesha have elephant head. She liked the story how Ganesha was so smart who worshipped his parents to win the challenge. My kids want to taste Modak and they recite “Ganpati Bappa Morya”.

This is a beautiful story about a young girl's very special birthday celebration in India with her family members. It is very educational in that it teaches children about India's culture, folktales and religious beliefs. With cute and vibrant characters and illustrations, this book is truly a treasure for all children to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome multicultural and diverse book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019

My children absolutely love this series, so the New book didn’t disappoint us either. This is a great addition to our Multicultural book collection. My children always loved the Ganesh Chaturthi festival and had celebrated the festival several times but the book describes beautifully how the celebration takes place in Mumbai India. They got to know about the proper tradition through this book. Also they are very much interested in Lezim dance now, I am very happy that after reading these diverse books their interest in Indian culture and festivals is growing. Books like Maya and Neel adventure series will definitely help them taking pride in their own culture. So we are excitedly waiting for the next book.

This is the story of one of the best known and most worshipped deities in Hinduism. The book is an educational picture book for young Hindu faith children, a study of culture for others. Well written with nice illustrations.

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2019

We absolutely love this series and this one is just as great as the other adventures. We love how the festival itself is described through the eyes of Maya and Neel but they also have Info Zooms which go into more detail depending on the age/attention span of your child. There were also a few details included such as the type of dance and instruments that are used for Ganesh Utsav. It’s been awesome to have these books as tools to help my boys learn more about their culture!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear explanation of the stories without giving it a religious color
Reviewed in India on August 31, 2020

The simple story line. The clear explanation of the stories without giving it a religious color. The words and language is perfect for children.
The other factors about the festival are also highlighted. I liked how Lal Baugh cha Raja is introduced. As it is an important part of Ganesh Festival in Mumbai.

The illustrations are lovely. In this book too, my daughter was hunting for Chintu in each page. It was fun spotting him :)

Subtle integration of gender neutral concepts like Grandmother getting the idol home and Grandfather decorating and getting the house ready for Ganpati.
I liked the Info recap, Pronunciation guide, Info zoom.

Culturegroove books are non-religious books and written for Global audience. I found them perfect for kids to read by themselves or to be read to. They perfectly follow their Motto.
