Description
Gapagap? What's that? Have you ever eaten your food quickly because you were super hungry? That's called eating your food gapagap!
This is a story about three siblings who are famished, so their father sets out to satisfy their hunger pangs. With their stomachs grumbling and mouths watering, the kids eagerly wait for their father to rustle up a meal. What unfolds is a heartwarming tale of a family bonding over the joys of delicious rotis.
This children's picture book is ideal for 0 to 6 year olds to develop their Hindi language skills. It creates the opportunity to learn Hindi vocabulary - words such as 'aakaar' which means shapes and fun phrases such as 'pet mein choohe kood rahe hain' which refers to hunger pangs!
The English transliteration of Hindi Devanagari script helps English-speakers to easily read aloud the story while also learning Hindi.
