Let customers speak for us
from 15 reviewsThis book is perfectly written and takes me right back to childhood memories of eating delicious snacks. My kids are half Dominican and half Gujarati so this book is such a good way to introduce parathas, samosas, and sweets to them. It’s catchy, fun, and a winner in our home library. My little one who is very particular abt the foods he eats, knows all the food names and has even tried samosas!
Love this cute and fun book about a bear eating a whole bunch of Indian snacks. We're introduced to a wide variety of Indian food/snacks from different regions, which helps to spark wonderful conversations about the food & culture. Kids absolutely need that exposure to food and this book is a great introduction.
When the bear says my stomach is full, but my heart would like some more, I fell in love. Absolutely relate to that sentence!
Beautiful illustrations as well. Bilingual a bonus! My kids are loving this :)
Not just a feast for the eyes, 'My Heart Would Like Some More, Please!' 'Yeh Dil Maange Aur' is a culinary adventure for young readers. The vivid illustrations bring to life the colorful and diverse array of Indian snacks, making the pages practically burst with flavor. The bilingual aspect adds an enriching touch, making it an excellent tool for language learning.
What I loved most is how the book effortlessly weaves together storytelling with an educational twist. It not only encourages a love for reading but also sparks an early appreciation for cultural diversity and the joy of good food. When my kids were younger, the easiest and playful way to introduce them to Hindi was food so for parents and educators looking to introduce children to a heritage language, this book is a must-have addition to the library.
I just love the experience and thoughtfulness behind this beautiful children’s story. The fact that it helps introduce kids to Hindi is great, but it’s not the only reason to get this story. It’s story is sweet and relatable, and my kid loves reading it over and over!
I had such a fun and joyful time reading this book with my 5 yo. It’s a great read for kids to learn a little about Indian food , a memorable story and beautiful illustrations (which make you crave the taste) . A great add to your early reader’s library!
My two-year-old son and I love this book. He really enjoys the illustrations and the board book format, which is nice and sturdy in his little hands. As he gets older, I look forward to teaching him more about the language and lessons that are introduced in this book as a way to help him gain an appreciation for different countries and cultures.
