I'm a children's tutor and this is one of the books I use to get children reading.Vivid descriptions.I encourage children to reread their favourite sections and this helps their own writing style to improve.Captivating for both children and adults.Highly recommended. Read for college Great book at a great price. Linked in with the teaching resources from Scholastic 100 English Lessons. Bought second hand but in top condition and promptly delivered. Read for college Good for literacy lessons Read for college Arrived quick and in superb condition, great size, hard book. Read for college This book was a childhood favourite of mine, so it was great to find it again. It was the book that first sparked my fascination with Indian culture, and even ten years later I can still understand why.It is written from an adult's perspective, but with all the enthusiasm of a child, and the stories are quite simply told yet still very engaging.I imagine it would be perfect for bedtime or break time stories, as it is laid out as one story per chapter.Even though it is a children's book, the stories are told in such a friendly, enthusiastic tone that it doesn't feel in the least condescending, even reading it again as an adult.
