The Boy Who Swallowed a Nail and Other Stories
by Lalita Iyer
Available now★★★★★
This is a warm, funny collection of short stories about one lively family. Appa is busy trying to buy a buffalo, Amma wants to know where to hang a clothesline in Dhanulti, and little Cheenu has swallowed a nail. Each story is short, so it suits a cosy read-aloud at bedtime or a young reader just starting to read alone. Children will laugh at the family's odd habits and small adventures.
