Description

Exotic India is the setting for this cleverly devised, lushly illustrated folktale of compassionate trickery and surprising mathematics. Young Chandra, the Rajah's elephant caretaker, outwits the ruler using the power of multiplication and saves her village from suffering. For ages 5-8 with adult. Free with museum admission.
