The book is no doubt good and my son love it.
This feedback is specifically for delivery. The delivery boys just leave at your doorstep without any information. This is the third time in last few months where they have left goods at doorstep and some of them costing few thousands. I had mailed before also and there seems to be no change.

Purchased this on kindle. Only one story is available. This is very bad. Why does amazon do this on their native device itself? This is pathetic

Nice but I remember reading few stories from Chandamamas (as is) from the 1980s. I happen to have a huge collection of old Tinkles and Chandamamas. Anyway good that the kids get to know those long-lost stories.

Not all the stories make sense but I like the way writer has used characters to explain human emotions and their flaws to kids. Overall a good read. My kids liked the book

The stories are short, captivating and the narration is in simple, plain English. For its price, it is excellent. Now, a suggestion: It can also be presented in a wide, hardcover format with each page bathed in colorful pictures. For children, no page should be plain white. This would stir their imagination manifold. Everybody knows this, but this might not have been done to keep the cost in control.

Book is good. But I don't understand why I got another book. or the description of the book might made me think like it is a book with huge stories. But this is only one story. Very disappointing.
