Krishna and the Mystery of the Stolen Calves

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dominique Amendola. In the Indian village of Vrindavan, Krishna, "a child who did amazing mystical things," outsmarts god Brahma after he steals away children and their calves. Adapted from a Bhagavata Purana tale, the picture book may appeal to Hindu families. The storytelling is staid, but Amendola's lavish paintings and the ornamented book design make for a gorgeous package.
