Publisher Review

"This delightful first chapter book is illustrated in black and white on every page and is a great way for newly independent readers to experience Christmas in India in the company of two excited young boys." * BookTrust: Books we love in December 2023 * "Perfect for children in KS1 or lower KS2 transitioning from picture books to short-chapter books, this series blends fast-moving storylines with relatable characters and situations. It's also ideal for booster book clubs and to improve reading confidence." -- Tom Tolkien * School Reading List - Jan 2024 book club picks * "...The fourth book in the charming series for new solo readers... As always bold, cheerful black and white illustrations by Soofiya complement Chitra's telling of these tales, which are based on her own upbringing." -- Red Reading Hub
