Reviews

"The illustrations are vibrant and its double-page spreads perfectly capture the heady flavours of the mango season. Children will also benefit from the little snippets of information that brings a better understanding of Tulu, the language, and of its people." --Young India Books

"A book about the joys of friendship, and the carefree innocence of childhood. A drool-worthy book, with warm, summery illustrations by Ajantha Guhathakurtha matching the yumminess of the text." --Saffron Tree
