This children's book collection is as educational as it is colorful and entertaining. Written in Hindi running alongside English transliterations, it is great for those who want to learn the beautiful language. The rhymes are easy to remember and delight readers of all ages. The words and illustrations invite the readers to read and reread the book collection over and over again. This is important to learning Hindi and makes Hindi fun to learn!

Although its geared towards the under 5 market, I've given this as a gift to children of any age if they are beginning their Hindi language learning journey. The praise for the thoughtful gift has been overwhelming. These books can make learning fun for the whole family. With the additional CD included, the package is complete and an all-in-one solution for learning Hindi.

Singhal has pulled together a wonderful series with the right look, feel and direction to make any child's learning experience both fruitful and rewarding. It's a series that I suspect will be the number one Indian American's baby shower gift for many years to come!
