If you want the most beautiful silk saris (female garment) in India Thatha (grandfather) is the man to see.
1-day Deepa (Granddaughter) ask Thatha how he became the best- & well-known tailor in India.
What was his reply to her?
Yrs.-later, Deepa & Thatha were talking & what appeared out of nowhere?
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures & proper font & writing style. A very well written children’s (elementary MS age) Eastern Indian cultural tale (storybook). It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s Eastern Indian cultural tale movie, a classroom presentation, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.
