Chalo Bazaar: Let's Go to the Market
Bilingual Beginnings: My Indian Language Adventure
This horizon-broadening bilingual picture book includes Hindi and translated Hindi text alongside its English-language explorations of a busy marketplace. Once at the bazaar, Meena is entranced by the variety of fruits and vegetables she sees; by shiny bangles at a stall; by bundles of fragrant flowers; and by the intoxicating scents of a panoply of spices. Indeed, there’s much to hold her attention in this bustling place, and the detailed illustrations ensure that young readers will find a lot to capture their imaginations, too. A glossary that pictures Meena’s market finds solidifies the book’s bilingual learning opportunities.
