Covid took away this gem of an author from us, but thanks to Talking Cub we have one last treasure to keep. History is brilliant when it connects the dots and tells us how far we have come and how much or how little some things have changed.
This lovely book takes you to the land of dreams where this little girl suddenly finds her Kolkata, her city of joy walking, swinging and dancing!
The book “What do you want to be when you grow up” is such a delight to read, with the author answering these questions from the perspective of a small boy, in the most hilarious ways possible. Written in rhyming verse, the highlight of the book is that it mentions offbeat options.
It’s a nice and cute book when you want to introduce these animals. The minimal illustrations would help kiddos to focus and not get distracted.
The book introduces the animals along with their baby animals and their siblings and grand parents and aunts and uncles in the most unique way. The book uses Indian kinship names to introduce the family of animals.
The book brings to the child 8 animals/birds using common household objects or pieces of clothing that a young toddler is gaining familiarity to in his or her environment. On the page where the ants are in pants, she enthusiastically tugged at her own pants while looking up with a lit up face!
