Review: CHATUR AND THE ENCHANTED JUNGLE by Subhash Kommuru

This is a Hindu children’s book starring Chatur and his donkey, Ghadu.

In search of work, Chatur and Ghadu get lost in the jungle along the way. Sitting under a tree, Chatur begins to make wishes (i.e. “I wish I had a drink of water,” etc.) and they mysteriously come true. But, soon, his wishing gets out of control and Chatur becomes sick with greed.
Story ends with an old Hindu saying: “One who lost his way in the morning found his way back home in the evening.”
Story was simple. Illustrations were cute with a child-like quality.
