WHEN BHOLU CAME BACK
WRITTEN BY KAVITHA PUNNIYAMURTHI AND ILLUSTRATED BY NILOUFER WADIA
‘When Bholu Came Back’ is an interesting find from Tulika Books that offers a rather unusual storyline about camels and life on the desert. We love books that gives us a view into a fresh new idea. It gave a whole new set of conversation starters between me and my son! His question session began with -What is a turban? Is Sarangi a guitar? Can we ride on a camel too? Why don’t we find camels here?
