Great blog you have here Prabha! I too have 2 small boys. Reading to the kids is probably one of the best things a parent can do to help their children. Thank you~ I'll be dropping by frequently!

Hi Prabha,
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog.
You have a lovely blog. I love reading. I am mostly into intense fiction - authors like Dan brown, David Baldacci, Jeffrey Archer etc. etc. I like variety and would'nt mind picking up a book just to find out what the author's style is.
Among the Indian authors - I really enjoyed Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Arundhati Roy and couple other names that dont come to mind now.
I am trying to get my kids to read good books. They love to read. For the most part, they like books on Dora, Arthur, Dr. Seuss books and all the fairy tales. I will definitely visit your blog and take pointers on some reading material.
Thanks for your updates.
Cheers
Latha

Hi Prabha, Came in thru your comment on my post. I must say I love your idea of exposing our kids to our culture, traditions and stories through books(esp the ones that are being brought up outside India). I have been reading to my daughter since she was about 4-5 months old (she is 1 1/2 now) and i can proudly say she loves her books and relates the pictures in the books to things around her. infact she opens up magazines and store coupon pages and identifies objects. I have seen kids her age or even older that have not been taught to read. They tend to tear up books and pages. So, keep up the good work and I am definitely going to be a regular visitor to your blog. I would love to see your recomendations for babies and toddlers as well.

Hi Prabha, I remeber you from your comments as 'desimom' on other bloggers pages. Wonderful to see your own blog. Love your theme on books. I was a HUGE fan of Enid Blyton books when I was kid...I shud say still am...its one of my lil crazy dreams to own a complete collection of her books !! Now I guess your blog is going to add a few more to that library :-)
