The Ramayana for children

Recommended age- 7+

This book is SERIOUS, FRIGHTFUL, CAPTIVATING!

The Ramayana for children is a book about the victory of good over evil. The author of this book expressed every tiny detail in such a way that I was so engrossed in the book, that I couldn't take off my nose and my eyes from the book till it was finished. Every child should read this book to know about Mythology.

Note for Mommies- Don't let the kids go out too far otherwise they will get scared and imagine Raavan!

The BFG by Roald Dahl

The BFG

Recommended for 6.5+ years


I love this book because... it is HUMOROUS, ENTERTAINING and SWEET

The BFG is a good read because it takes you the world of giants. Sophie the protagonist of the story gets robbed by a giant called the BFG. They become great friends and catch all the bad giants and take them to the queen and buries them in a pit. The BFG is the dream catching giant, he actually catches dreams and gives everyone dreams at night!! Whatever dreams he gives come true! It is a beautiful story about a lovely friendship between Sophie and the BFG. The language is funny and heart-warming. The way the Big speaks made me laugh and also cry sometimes. All the funny names of the giants are difficult to pronounce, they are like tongue twisters! One of the dialogues from the book that I really liked is "Meanings is not important, said the BFG. I cannot be right all the time. Quite often I is left instead of right".
This books made me Roald Dahl's biggest fan and I just love his imagination and his way of seeing different worlds. It made me realise that giants can also exist with us, we human beings are not the only ones in this universe! I took only 1.5 days to finish this book as I just couldn't put it down!!

New words I learnt- Rotten, Phenomenal, Distressed, Snoozling, Pierced

Note to Mommies- Don't make the children miss out on the Roald Dahl series! Buy the entire collection. Mommies beware, your child may forget to each breakfast, lunch or dinner while reading and may eventually become the giant's breakfast!!! so please keep feeding your child while he/she is reading!!

Usborne Illustrated Classics for Children

Recommended for 6+ years

I love this book because... it is EMOTIONAL, SOFT & TOUCHING


This book is a great book for early readers. It contains the most beautiful and classic stories that each child must read before they turn 7 like The railway children, The wizard of OZ, Heidi and Black Beauty. These abridged stories spark your imagination and make you feel warm within. My favourite story from this book was Heidi. Heidi is about a very sweet and obedient girl with a heart of gold. There are 8 stories in the book with a few chapters each. This book is a stepping stone to read bigger and thicker books. It is an extremely special book to me as my nani had gotten it for me and was my first BIG book that I ever read when I was 6. This books ignited the love of reading in me! Each story touched my heart and made me dream bigger and bigger!!

New words I learnt- Disappeared, Embarrassing, Dreadful, Collapsed

Note for mothers- This is a great book to introduce Children's literature and help your child read fluently. Each story is about something new.

The 39-Storey Treehouse by Andy griffins & Terry Denton

Recommended for 6.5 + years

Genre- Fantasy

I love the book because......it's IMAGINATIVE, AMAZING & I feel like RICHIE-RICH

This book is about Andy & Terry who live in a 39-storey grand, magnificent and the coolest treehouse. The treehouse actually has a baby dinosaur petting zoo, the scariest rollercoaster, an active volcano for toasting marshmallows, and a believe it or not museum. But one day, they meet a professor- professor Stupido who live song he moon and he has the power of un-inventing everything!Imagine that! So they ask Professor Stupido to un-invent all the problems from the world, the entire population and everything around them even the entire solar system, except themselves. The professor starts uninviting everything and soon it's all a blank!! Andy keeps a spooncil (spoon and a pencil) hidden in his nose and they use that to draw back the whole world just the way they like it!!! Can you imagine if you had the power to make your world just they way you want it to be. How would you draw your world?
I like this book because Andy and Terry save the whole world and un-invent professor Stupido so they have all the happy things back in the world. I like the fun pictures and the imagination of the author, it really gives me a picture about the world I want in my mind. The author uses lots of imagery and vivid words to paint a picture in the young readers minds. The illustrator Terry Denton is superb with his drawings and creativity.

New words I learnt- convey, distract, analysed, awful

Note for mothers- Your child will be imagining a humungous treehouse with active volcanoes, disco light up dance floors, a high-tech office with laser-erasers, jet-propelled swivel chairs and many more fun things so don't expect them to stay in their ordinary room with ordinary desks and chairs!! Get ready for their fun demands and wishes!!
