This is an excellent book to read to children. I especially like the pictures.
This book was written in the 60's and I find that I really enjoy children's books from this time more than most contemporary stories. Perhaps I'm biased because I was born in the late 60's but it seems that many of the children's books from this era focus on humanity and one's contribution towards a better society as opposed to individual accomplishments.
General Jodhpur desperately wanted to become the most famous general in the world and have his success be admired by all the other generals. To achieve his goal, he demanded his soldiers work hard every day.
I adored the moral of this story, but even more so the illustrations. I would suggest that this is a must have for any student or child's bookshelf.
