4. Small-sized books 

How about a small and beautiful bilingualLet's Readseries? Fancy a trip to the jungle with The Cat in the Ghat? Want to fall in love with a book about how a doll is handcrafted from a little ball of clay! Or guffaw over a funny and adorable tale about a traffic signal who loves his job but gets bored of standing in one place!

Psst, our favorite? The Karadi Rhymes featuring the magnificent Usha Uthup!  

5. Slide puzzles
