Description
Nikhil and Jay visit India in this third book in the sparkling Early Reader series about a British Asian family.
Nikhil and Jay and Amma and Appa are off to India for the Christmas holidays to visit Chennai Granny and Grandad. In Grandad’s garden they see parrots and Chennai squirrels, a mango tree and a coconut tree. It’s all very new and exciting but the boys miss Max the Cat! One day they go to the beach, play Catch Me If You Can in the big waves and eat Granny’s Indian savoury snacks. The boys have their first Chennai Christmas, with mango-leaf decorations, Indian sweets for Father Christmas, a basket of beautiful Indian wooden toys – and a special Christmas star. And last but not least, the family see in the New Year the Indian way. They make a Welcome poster, Granny lights a lamp at midnight, and they all eat Granny’s delicious Kesala as an Indian New Year treat.
This third book in the Nikhil and Jay series is perfect for children moving on from picture books to longer stories, helped by Soofiya’s lively and characterful illustrations.
