An NCTE Notable Book in Poetry
From New York Times bestselling authors Kabir Sehgal and Surishtha
Sehgal comes a charming and brightly illustrated spin on classic nursery
rhymes that celebrates rich Indian culture and introduces Hindi
vocabulary.
Mother Goose takes a trip to India in this unique collection of nursery
rhymes with a distinctly Indian flair. This little sooar (pig) goes to
the bazaar. Little Miss Muffet eats dahi (yogurt) until a makadee
(spider) scares her away. Little Jack Horner eats Diwali sweets. Rhymes
and characters that are familiar to young readers bring to life the
beauty, wonder, and diversity of a vast and vibrant country in a way
that is accessible and fun.
