I'm So Sleepy
This is a cute little story about baby elephant Bahadur who has forgotten  how to sleep...
The book also has colourful illustrations to satisfy the kids curiosity and get their
imaginations working. And the style in which the story is written is also simple and lucid...

Illustrations are precisely what makes I'm So  Sleepy's charm too: colourful and gay, most enjoyable for young children who will relish delightful  depictions of wild animals.

Priya Kuriyan's illustrations are appealing, especially the one of Bahadur getting sleepier by
the minute. Simple and easy to  draw, they fill  the pages with bright shades and make
following the story a delight.

If you are the kind who thinks that a story should have educative value besides having fun,
this one fits the bill. While the endearing little elephant is trying to figure out how it should
fall asleep, the children also learn the sleeping habits of various other animals in the jungle...
Priya Kuriyan's illustrations...are radiant and so full of life.

Sunu-sunu snail: Storm in the Garden
I read Storm in the Garden for the kids on Friday and  they LOVED it, they enjoyed the
Hee! Hee!s and the Sitta Pittas as lot. They actually have for homework to  translate part
of it this week...  It's a beautiful book!

Simply written, the book is a wonderful tale to read out to children of age three and above. The sounds that Sunu-sunu relates to his mother is a joy for children to listen to and makes for interesting reading even for parents... The story is simple yet captivating.

How does one introduce the very young to books and how early can one begin? Perhaps, one answer is to be found in the Sunu-sunu Snail books from Tulika books. Storm in the Garden is available in five languages – English, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada – and the basic story by Sandhya Rao is straightforward... The illustrations by Ashok Rajagopalan are eye-catching and colourful, especially as they seem to be from the snail's eye-view... The availability of these books in regional languages is a plus since rarely does one find books for toddlers in languages other than English.

It's Only A Story
It has the prodigious element of simple repetition, which gives the child a sense of mastery with it and boosts their involvement multifold...the unique illustrations tell the story on their own, making the words a mere formality. And they serve the added purpose of jumpstarting your memory should ever the chain be broken. Not to forget the feeling of giving your child a slice of history in the form of these folk paintings.

Sameer's House
...it addresses directly the fascinating concept of how we are all interwoven into this universe, and how there is so much more beyond the extent of our direct vision in this world. And it feels like a great starting point to whet a child's curiosity about how this world came into being, what makes it tick every single minute and day, and are there any other worlds like ours, out there? Pretty heavy ammunition to offload into a tiny mind, no doubt...but a start is made very simply in this book.

What Shall I Make?
Flour Power
The book is more than a book - a down-to-earth culinary project for small children; the making of a chapati, a favorite that has withstood the wrath of time in the Indian household. Ample scope for turning kitchen interference from small children into wholesome fun! Needless to say, a playdoh equivalent, the dough is like a blank canvas. It triggers creativity in little minds and acts as medium to help them give shape and life to their favorite objects and scenes. For those who have not yet had a chance to discover the hidden power of chapati dough, the idea is fresh, hot and totally Indian!
