Description:What better a character to introduce children to Hindu mythology than Ganesha, the god of new beginnings? Often impulsive, forever generous, the elephant-headed god with the fat belly and (sometimes) four arms makes mistakes, but learns from them.

Most of the tales support definite pedagogical points such as nonviolence, respect for life, and the folly of vanity, but all are also pure entertainment in their own right.An introduction explains Ganesha's place in the Hindu faith and gives guidance to this rich and complex tradition.
