I was happy to see this book from Art and checked it out
online and in the stores as well. Looked at it and then thought that it is too
easy for my girls as they are mid-level readers and they would be done with
this in 5 min and so did not pick it up. My next visit to the store, it did look quirky enough that I should pick it up. I dawdled a bit, then it struck me that it is a bilingual and
so I can pick it up to make them read Hindi. I got it home and gave it to them
just like that, without mentioning anything about the Hindi text.
Guess what?! I was so wrong as not every book is about the
level of reading and I do not need a justification to buy a lower level book. This was such a huge hit as they actually got the
weirdness of it. I could hear giggles for a long time after the book was read that too multiple times. They
could read the Hindi by themselves too.
According to Angel, if the stars were to sing, the song of
choice would be Twinkle Twinkle little star and as we were waiting for the
school bus the next day, as per Apple the bus should fly if it were to be part
of the book.
Thanks for the giggles Art, the book is just plain hilarious.
