Product Description

With a special focus on Indian children, this book captures the stunning variety of life in a country that is also a subcontinent. Using an A-Z format, Prodeepta Das introduces young readers to social details both ancient and modern, such as the happy chaos of bustling cities, where the cinema rules, as well as the quiet traditions of rural life. I Is for India contains beautiful images of everything from Mehndi, elaborate filigrees of tattoos worn by young women at weddings and festivals, to the country's splendid national bird, the peacock.

Kinda fun

Reviewer: ,

Very elementary book. Uses some hindi words. Most hilarious example we found was 'S' for 'Sadhu'. How crazy is that!!!

nice for children between 3-5

Nice photos and basic in format. My 2 y.o doesn't love it but does enjoy looking at the pictures.

Beautiful book

This beautiful alphabet book captures not only the look but also the spirit of India. The images were taken in the state of Orissa, but to my eyes (here in the U.S.) they appear to be representative of the country as a whole.

Great book for kids that love India!

I read this to a 3 year old that is obsessed with his Indian heritage and he absolutley loved it! Great information along with the real pictures (verses drawings).

This is a great book and part of a great new series. It tries hard to make the information all inclusive so that much of India is included. A great start to learning about India.
