“Three Chumki books in one make this a fine companion for a long train journey. The chase where Kanti Kaka loses his dhoti begs to be read aloud to the whole compartment.”
One brave girl, a pangolin to save and elephants on the loose.
A Whole Lot of Chumki is a funny three-in-one collection of adventure stories about a brave, gutsy girl called Chumki.
Chumki takes on every challenge with gusto, even when she isn't sure of herself. She sets out to save a pangolin, keeps watch for runaway elephants from a nearby reserve, helps her Dadi, who forgets everything, and copes with people who call her unlucky. The author adds a special note.
Why children love it
- Funny scenes, like Kanti Kaka losing his dhoti to a shrub as he charges at the children.
- Lively black-and-white drawings, from a whole herd of elephants to a flapping goose.
- A real hole runs right through the cover and every page.
By Lesley D. Biswas · Illustrated by Anupama Ajinkya Apte · Hole Books series · English
Quick answers
Does it deal with anything serious? Gently, yes. Chumki's Dadi has Alzheimer's and forgets even Chumki's name, which can open a family chat about memory loss.
Can a child read it alone? It suits newly independent readers, with big, clear type and plenty of drawings.
