In this much-loved Indian version of a Grimm Brothers' folktale, four old animals become friends after their masters kick them out for being useless -- and together prove themselves to be anything but! The band of charming characters comes to life in celebrated Gond artist Durga Bai's delightful and quirky artwork.

Review:

As well as being a good introduction to Indian tribal art, The Old Animals Forest Band would be excellent to read aloud and could even be adapted as a performance piece. It might also form the basis of discussions about friendship, old age and tolerance.’ (www.writeaway.org.uk)
