In the good old days, children visited their grandparents’
houses in the village during vacations. Because most villages did not have
electricity and had limited “entertainment” options, it was easy to engage
children in household chores.
Children would help out in the vegetable garden, the elders
at home in running errands, and perhaps even meeting friends in the village for
a cool dip in the local pond.
Aaloo Maloo Kaloo is a fun story about a boy named Maloo who
is visiting his grandmother in the village. His grandmother asks him to pick vegetables
from her garden. His canine friend Kaloo also accompanies him.
Suvidha Mistry’s illustrations along with author Vinita
Krishna manage to create vivid images of the vegetable garden and the rural
landscape, which can transport you to the countryside; an excellent book for
kids to learn more about colours and vegetables.
Yet another gem from the Pratham Books, it is a good
read-it-aloud book for kids in the ages ranging from 2-4 years.
