The illustrations glow with the colour of the chapatti dough. The sparse drawings are interestingly framed with the mother partiallty shown at the edges of the pages while Neeraj and his animal creations take centre stage.The repetetive pattern of text as each animal is introduced makes it great for reading aloud and joining in. School Librarian A definite 'should have' for classroom sharing and a good starting point for a chapatti-making session with young children. Books for Keeps This beautifully illustrated book is one of those that cleverly cross the somewhat artificial divide between fact and fiction... It is important to remember that books like this serve a variety of purposes. They entertain, involve and inform. The illustrations are superb and the language has a charming simplicity that would readily engage children in the early years. Early Years Educator
