As a child in a Tamil family, it was almost certai

As a child in a Tamil family, it was almost certain that you would have heard the Tamil nursery rhyme Nila Nila Odi Va. One of our cherished memories may be of our parents or grandparents pointing out the moon and feeding us food. Inspired by this, T4 Tales @t4tales has crafted a stunning touch-and-feel playbook. This vibrant and eye-catching book is suitable for babies and children aged 6 and above due to its versatility. It is bilingual and can be enjoyed as a story or a song for young children, while also serving as a useful reading tool for older kids.

The Nila Nila book stands out from the touch-and-feel books found on the market. The artwork is incredibly lively and the text is boldly written to captivate the attention of children. The book contains various tactile features on every page and the illustrator has cleverly hidden cute images of the moon throughout. (Be sure to get a copy and let me know which pictures you spotted on the moon!)

The book has inclusive pictures and there is some twist to the old lyrics which is easy to read and sing. This book is the ideal choice for a bedtime read and you can also enjoy its musical adaptation. https://linktr.ee/nilanilaodivaa

I received the book from publisher T4 Tales for free to review; all words are my own. You can purchase this book from Amazon or on their website

More information about this book is on my blog. Link in the bio or I am attaching the direct link to this blog post on the stories.

#Graphicnovelrecommendation 2
Another engaging and captivating graphic novel for early readers. It humorously and delightfully introduces the world of crows. In the story, Arlo and Pips are the main characters. Arlo is a crow, and Pips is a small bird. Pips initiated a conversation with Arlo when he overheard Arlo claiming to be the king of the birds. Pips could not accept this and tried to explain why a crow could not be the best in every way. But Arlo stuck to his claim and this series of conversations between them takes us into the world of crows and allows us to learn more about their nature. Are crows really as smart as Arlo claims?

Age recommended 6+

Learn more about Arlo and Pips in my latest blog post. You can find the link in my bio or in my stories.

#Graphicnovelrecommendation 1
Graphic novels are perfect books for kids who are ready to read but still miss their picture books. Nathan's first graphic novel was "Bug Scouts", and it greatly aided his transition from picture books.

Bug Scouts is a simple and short graphic novel written for children between the ages of 6 and 8. These children learn many simple words and attempt to read them everywhere they go. They also try to form sentences using these words. "Bug Scouts" combines all of these elements and encourages children to reread the entire series repeatedly.

This series of books is where small scouts go on the biggest adventures.

A detailed review of both the books is up on the blog. The link can be found in the bio or on my stories.

Water: Discovering the Precious Resource All Aroun

Water: Discovering the Precious Resource All Around Us By Olga Fadeeva is an informative nonfiction book that delves into the importance of water and its crucial role in our survival. The book provides detailed knowledge about water, its properties, and its significance in various aspects of life.

The book begins with a trivia page, taking us on a journey to explore the fundamental importance of water. It delves into water's various forms, from rain and rivers to clouds, rainbows, oceans, and the deepest depths of the sea. The author presents each form of water as a narrative, making it an engaging read. I like how each page turn is a little surprise. When I reached the section about underground water, I was captivated by the illustrations, which helped me understand the three types of underground water. The facts were easy to grasp and truly mind-blowing. The illustrations are what make this book a top-notch read.

If your child is curious and asks a lot of questions about water, then this is a great book to add to your bookshelf.
mind-blowing
I'm grateful to NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read this book.

Inventor Adventure by Selma Benkiran is a fun story for kids. It tells them to try new things and learn from their mistakes. The book also teaches kids about science in a fun way. Most importantly, it tells kids about a real invention that they can make at home. This helps kids be more creative. In addition to teaching STEM concepts, the book also takes readers on a parallel journey to explore beautiful life lessons.

Lilo is a creative young person. He has a problem keeping his special plants alive while he's away for the summer. They need water every day, but he'll be gone for a month! Lilo thought hard and came up with an idea. He built a self-watering system for his plants. It's a machine that gives them water when they need it. Lilo's story isn't just about inventing something. It's also about being strong and never giving up. He had to try many times before he got it right. But he never gave up. He learned a lot from this experience. He learned that it's okay to fail. What's important is to keep trying until you succeed.

This charming bedtime story depicts a conversation

This charming bedtime story depicts a conversation between a mother and daughter about the moon. Kaitlyn is fascinated by a bright object in the sky and asks her mother what it is. As they talk, they delve into the characteristics of the moon, including its varying sizes, why its shape changes, and how the sun affects its brightness. Kaitlyn also learns about the first moon landing and becomes inspired to one day visit the moon herself.

The book stands out for its vivid illustrations and the seamless integration of educational information about the moon. This approach elevates it from a simple story to an engaging learning opportunity. The inclusion of factual details and special activities at the end of the book further enhances its value and makes it an enriching and enjoyable read.

I received this copy of the book from the author for my honest review in return.
