Recenzii

A simple storyline, a wonderful visual treat and an absolutely unique concept. The book scores at all levels as we accompany Neela and Peela and feel their excitement about the carnival. - Indian Moms Connect

A colourful and dazzling book that shows off perfectly the amazing spectacle of a traditional indian carnival. We truly wish we could really visit the Bhil Carnival but this is a wonderful way to catch a glimpse of it ourselves! - Read It Daddy blog

This is a book that will make children’s eyes pop-out with awe; there’s something very magical that comes from opening a book and encountering the unexpected and even repeated visits are certain to delight. - The Illustrated Forest blog

The illustrations and the narrative are both vibrant with the celebratory energy that carnivals everywhere evoke. - Kirkus Reviews

Solidly rooted in Indian village life, the book offers great scope for discussions and could also be a great tool to help children discover other art forms, thereby creating an awareness and appreciation of the rich tapestry of the folk arts of India. - Young India Books
