Book Review: Potpourri: stories for children

In present time most of the authors focus on the teenage or the older age auidence and write their work keeping them in mind. In the midst of all this, children’s literature is far from development at present and hence they are more encouraged to watch television and as a result they are unable to use their imagination. Yet from everyone’s childhood, stories are always a thing of fascination and a catalyst in igniting their imagination. 

Urvashi Tandon in her “Potpourri:Stories for Children” makes one brilliant attempt to rekindle the forgotten genre of childres’s literature and takes the readers to the time when “Panchtantra” and “Alice in Wonderland” were a charm to the younger version of the readers. With smooth, lucid language and colorful illustrations with necessary cartoon pictures, the author gets close to the interest of young children and surely the young readers will develop an interest in reading right from their formative years. 

Hence, parents can try to build the interest of their children in reading with the help of such books which will help this to become their lifelong habit.
