Perfect read-aloud material
When I opened the book, the first thing I noticed was the colour palette. These were strong Indian hues of bright blue and garish orange; deep emerald and snazzy purple. Sayan Mukherjee clearly understands that we Indians like our colours to be eye-catching. Also, he captures the atmosphere of Kolkata’s ever-buzzing streets and its typical eccentric characters with unerring humour... The author, Swati Sengupta, understands that, for a picture book for a five-year-old, you need a good read-aloud style. Goodbooks.in
