Ganesha's Sweet Tooth

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sanjay Patel. Young elephant-headed god Ganesha is dismayed when he breaks his tusk on a sweet; a poet asks him to use it as a pen to transcribe the Mahabhrata, an epic origin story. The text, inspired by a Hindu legend, is cute if somewhat condescending. Animator Patel's humorous illustrations make effective use of geometric motifs and a bright, Bollywood-worthy palette.
