ABOUT THIS BOOK

Nandu wants to go to his school fancy-dress competition dressed as
a king, but his mother makes him wear a foolish-looking watermelon
costume instead.

Dolly and Sunny are leading a happy life as a pair of genius twins, till they
wish for their clones.

All Poonam wants is the perfect pair of blue and white slippers, and she
finds them too, except that they belong to someone else.

Sher and Samandar are best friends till a piece of mysterious rock turns
them into sworn enemies.

Meet these kids and many others like them in this very delightful collection,
Moongphali. Funny, adventurous, smart and mischievous, these are children
from all parts of India. They speak different languages, eat all kinds of food,
live in homes that look totally unlike each other—yet you will find a bit of
yourself in each one of them.

Relish these stories and relive your childhood with your kids.
