@Choxbo...Thanks Vibha, Sheela, the mad momma, chox.<br />@Choxbox: Glad the girls enjoyed the book. I picked this up at Sapna book house, and not Gangarams as I had said earlier. Had picked up stuff at both places within days of each other, and got confused.<br />Need I say that I'm in awe of your LB?sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654489216158421654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-9537150491303845912011-03-16T10:46:17.229-07:002011-03-16T10:46:17.229-07:00Reproducing something the 5-year old wrote today, ...Reproducing something the 5-year old wrote today, had a tough time keeping a straight face at the 'love' and the 'p.s.':<br /><br />Dear Empress,<br />I have got this tea from a young child.

The descriptions - of teh sky - I just knew would have caught your eye :) It is one book that can be described as exquisite.<br /><br />Have to get a copy now, as the kids were wondering if S Aunty 'has given this book to us’ (vs. having lent it) with great hope!Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-6467405295330983662010-10-10T04:32:49.057-07:002010-10-10T04:32:49.057-07:00wow... i got goosebumps just thinking of the story...wow... i got goosebumps just thinking of the story. you DO find the best books, S...the mad mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535453643548976883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-4336263543684001172010-09-28T11:07:09.653-07:002010-09-28T11:07:09.653-07:00Quite a pick, Sandhya, lovely review as always.Quite a pick, Sandhya, lovely review as always.Sheelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892316117026334238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-51593751948386792202010-09-27T10:08:13.684-07:002010-09-27T10:08:13.684-07:00Lovely book and a great review Sandhya.

This one will certainly be a keepsake!<br /><br />And Zoe! It is an honour to have you comment on my post! I think the book you are speaking of is Tamar, isn't it? I looked it up, and it seems like something right up my street- since it is based on WW2, and is my area of interest. Will certainly look for it. In fact, I discovered that both Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham, who are a husband-wife team, have written quite a few books for children in the Oxford reading series, all of which sound very interesting.sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654489216158421654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-85249630987919853042010-09-26T04:29:50.629-07:002010-09-26T04:29:50.629-07:00The word cloudtea sounds divine!
