Ganesha is just like any other kid, except that he has the head of an elephant and rides around on a magical mouse. And he loves sweets, especially the traditional dessert \u003ci\u003eladdoo\u003c\/i\u003e. But when Ganesha insists on biting into a super jumbo jawbreaker \u003ci\u003eladdoo\u003c\/i\u003e, his tusk breaks off  Ganesha is terribly upset, but with the help of the wise poet Vyasa, and his friend Mr. Mouse, he learns that what seems broken can actually be quite useful after all.
