Ganesh Chaturti is the perfect time to talk about our favourite elephant.

The Gajapati Kulapati series by Ashok Rajagopalan, published by Tulika Books, is a favourite in our house. We bought the first one when our son was about a year old, and now five years later, we have the complete set and still love reading them.

The story is simple and hilarious. Each book is about an adventure Gajapati Kulapati has with his friends in the village where he lives. The sound effects will make kids and adults giggle with delight.

There are four books in the series. We meet the same characters in each book and love to see how they’re getting on.

Tulika Books publishes these books in Indian regional languages as well. They’re sure to delight young readers for a long time to come.
