Summary
A fable about a group of animals which strives to bring the perfect present to the Indian raja-king's birthday party, and discusses how the numerals we use originated in India.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Who hasnât gone to a birthday party and had âpresent envyâ? Who hasnât felt the pride of thinking of just the right gift, only to find out that someone else has thought of a better one? Who hasnât had to learn the hard way that the greatest gift of all is friendship? This is the lesson the nine animals are about to learn as they make their way to the palace to celebrate the raja-kingâs birthday. Why nine animals? And why the well? Because James Rumfordâs original fable is also a counting book, where we learn that our ten Arabic numerals came not from Arabia, as one might think, but from India.
With its pictures of paper collage reminiscent of the glorious designs on the walls of the Taj Mahal, Nine Animals and the Well will teach, amuse, and delight.
