"The beautiful city of Jaipur is rejoicing. The Maharajah and his people, all dressed in their best, are getting ready to welcome the Emir from faraway Dubai. But behind all the music, dancing and gaiety, there is something very strange going on... Why is a runaway camel stalking the royal guest in and around the forts and palaces of Jaipur? Why is he being helped by an odd bunch of friends - a faithful donkey, a chatty parrot, two resourceful monkeys and one smart little boy? And who is that mysterious man following them with a very grumpy expression on his face? Find out what happens in this lively sequel to Bye, Bye Motabhai!"--Page [4] of cover

Bye, Bye, Motabhai!

by Kala Sambasivan and Ambika Sambasivan

"Do you ever think of your future - dream about becoming an astronaut, a surgeon or a wildlife photographer? What if animals too have such ambitions? What if a rhesus monkey wishes to be a school bus driver or a hard-working donkey wants to be a movie star? Just imagine what they would do to get what they want! Pavan, an over-worked camel in the city of Ahmedabad, India, hates his job. He often dreams of being a racing camel in Dubai. But hitched to a heavy vegetable cart and with his owner Motabhai around, how is this possible? One day, Pavan finds a way to escape with a little help from some kind-hearted children. He makes a mad dash through the city along with Bijilee, a dhobi's donkey whom he befriends on the way. Can you imagine the riot that this pair causes in the narrow, bustling streets of old Ahmedabad, as they race past its historic monuments, with Motabhai, an auto-driver, a policeman and a washerwoman hot on their trail?"--Page [4] of cover
