This book has all the important things about India in it. My daughter found many facts she could use for her India research paper in 3rd grade. She was able to highlight on the pages. The only negative and reason I didn't give it five stars is there are no colored pictures. I would be willing to pay a few more dollars to have color. Plus, she would have enjoyed it more.

Book is printed in black and white. Pictures aren’t nearly as great without the vibrant colors of India and its’ culture. Outside of book seemed to imply colorful photos. Facts are fun and interesting, but my preschool class was more interested in the books I had that were in color.

This book about India is put together so well. I love the color photos that accompany the text, which is set up as a series of questions. Everything from the typical geography and history questions like where is India? how'd it get it's name? how big is it? which is it's biggest mountain? to why was India under British Rule? and when did it get independence? And then there are questions about food. Why is Indian food spicy? and what is an onion bhaji? I love Indian food and want to travel to India at some point. When there I will most certainly eat some bhaji, a crisp deep-fried snack made with a vegetable. The author, Shalu Sharma even has a recipe for it in this book. She thinks of everything. You can have bhaji with chutney or pickles or spicy Indian curry. Do you know the national animal of India. If you guessed Tiger, you'd be correct. You know what the state animal of Texas where I live is? An armadillo. I'm so disappointed! But not in this book. It's a great book to find out about all sorts of facts about that wonderful country.

good information hard to read with small print and black and white pictures

I was disappointed that there were no colored pictures in a book for kids! I was expecting the beautiful colors of India

I purchased this book for my son to prepare to represent India for cultural night at school. This book is in a question answer form with over 50 questions in areas of geography, history, food and pop cultural answered. Author uses pictures where applicable ( pics are black and white). Here are some sample questions from the book. How old is Indian civilization? What is Bollywood? What are the festivals of India? I highly recommend this book to parents who wants to teach their kids about India. It is a concise guide for someone who wants a quick guide about the culture before a trip to India.

A great book for children of all ages . This book teaches them a lot of interesting things about India, it's culture, music,history and religion. I recommend it to anyone who would like to teach his/her children a lot of interesting and new things and expand their horizon.
