Review:

PARENT REVIEWS:
"This is a very exciting addition to any parent's library.  Finally, a Hindi children's book that shares the joy of learning Indian culture and language."  -A. Moose (Blacksburg, VA)
"As a mom of three young 3rd generation girls of South Asian descent, I love this book because it serves as a great introduction to the Hindi language and alphabet.  I especially appreciate that along with the Devanagari script and transliteration, Hindi and English words are interspersed throughout the narrative in a fun, lyrical way that provides readers with a glimpse into Indian culture."  -T. Biswas (Princeton Junction, NJ)
"The author's efforts to conceive this idea of a Hindi alphabet book is simply amazing.  She has put much thought and effort into making this book relevant and current.  I have already highly recommended this book to my friends and family."  -A. Ko (Chapel Hill, NC)
"A beautiful, simple, fun way to introduce your children to the Hindi alphabet."  -A. Datta (Dallas, TX)
"The book stands alone in the way that it provides a structure for learning Hindi as well as the cultural context for many of the words.  It is an excellent resource."  -P. Mittal (San Francisco, CA)
