[David Mensah · Rating 4 out of 5]

In Geeta's Day, the reader is taken on a short insightful journey through a day in the life of an Indian village. The story is told from the perspective of a 6 year old child and focuses mainly on her family and immediate surroundings.
The combination of photographs and written commentary result in an informative reading experience. Although, this book is clearly aimed at young readers, I found it interesting and educational.
I felt throughout the journey as though I was being given a real ' fly on the wall' look through the village and some of its interesting peoples and customs.
Because of the factual documentary aspect of the book it could be effectively employed as a tool for a Geography, RE or PHSE lesson.
