My daughter received this book as a gift on her 1st birthday. She is half Indian, half Welsh- how exciting for her to have a board book about Indian foods for her book collection! I didn't even know such books existed. What a pleasant surprise. The book is well done- great illustrations and funny. Would love to see more books for children about the Indian culture.

Chaat and Sweets--as well as the other books in this series--features both unique artwork and a simple introduction to foods that may be unfamiliar to most young kids. This is definitely a book to consider when you wish to encourage your child to explore new cuisine and cultures.

My 19 month old daughter loves this series. And unlike a lot of other toddler books out there, I feel like I'm learning something from them too. Like the older books, the illustrations are rich and interesting and the dialogue keeps her attention. Unlike the older books, this one has a back glossary which gives both pronounciation and explanations for the food -- something doubly helpful for me.
