The stories in this compilation revolve around birds and animals. The creatures are depicted as having human qualities and the stories carry positive and moral messages to children. As the famous Sanskrit verse goes “Kag cheshta, Bak dhyanam, Sshwa nidra tathair cha” (meaning: The crow puts in effort, and the duck meditates and the dog is forever alert), so are the children exerted to follow these qualities. The stories are educative and instruct the children in the ways of virtue.
