"Fun with Knowledge is what makes learning for children a better one. The character Aani and his magic matt YIP YIP is what complements the Author Pinal Patel's out of the box thinking for a child development. Unlike the same black and white unappealing books, these two books by the Author are very much illustrative in nature and are extra ordinary and yet easy to understand. They provide even better inputs compared to the traditional ones with the help of pictures and stories. When you read the book, you almost bring your own self within and the process of learning about the vast culture of India and as Well the continents of the world become quite interesting. Dynamic nature of children doesn't allow them to focus and the author has done a really great work by her phenomenal concept which can make learning process for child a cake walk. I wish her many congratulations and a great success ahead."

I am very happy that my children have learnt a lot from this book, like in every state in India there is a different language, dance, custom and food. The author, Pinal Patel, taught children about India in a fun way. The illustrations gave colours to the book and made it even more attractive.
