No one can resist a good story, especially those told by a grandmother. In Grandma’s Bag of Stories, Sudha Murty reminds readers of a simple time, where a fun afternoon usually involved sitting by one’s grandma to hear her stories. Summary of the Book There is no greater story teller than a grandmother. Her stories are full of life and wisdom, and her tales teach kids about proud kinds, mischievous monkeys, cheating thieves, bears and gods. In stories such as that of a bear who partook of some really bad dessert, a lazy man who would not put out a fire until it scorched his beard and a queen who discovered silk. Hilarious, wise and instructive, these stories teach kids about the value of elders and the wisdom that the older generation can pass down.
