I've always wanted to know about some books that are based on rural TamilNadu which is appealing to all kids and "Magic Vessels" may be the right choice.

That way, I felt that this book has plenty of scope for elaborating our traditions to a child, who hails from the South Indian background but has no clue about any of these.<br /><br />Sooraj does not have any special feelings for this book, but my 3 year old daughter loves the book when we read it to her...she admires the pictures a lot !!ranjani.sathishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10450770799790366871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-9880342673692027092009-10-27T08:11:57.823-07:002009-10-27T08:11:57.823-07:00Nice review Ranjani!
