Bakor Patel is children's literature character created by Hariprasad Vyas for talking animal stories.

The stories were accompanied with an illustration and title printed in typical typography; drawn by two Surat based artist brothers, Tansukh and Mansukh.

[1] Hariprasad Vyas wrote these light humorous stories on the suggestion of Natwarlal Malvi.

Natwarlal Malvi had discussed with Vyas about children's stories from the Russian literature which are satire on human society.

The stories selected by Mahendra Meghani and translated in English by Piyush Joshi were published by the National Book Trust in 2009.

The stories influenced writers like Taarak Mehta whose humorous weekly column Duniya ne Oondha Chashma has similar social background.
