Why is this book on our shelf?
- Tales that happen in faraway lands and unknown countries are fun to read but hard to relate to. These stories that happen in your own city, is something your kids can relate to. Watch them get familiar with bun masks, vada pavs and know more about the local potters and paan wallas.
- The narrative is simple and the language used is age-appropriate. The illustrations of these 20 special stories, the people featured in it and the city is great and kids will find the book simply unputdownable.
