Great Read!!
The Boy Who Wouldn’t Bathe & Other Stories” is a great read for kids of all ages. In fact even grown ups like me also enjoyed the short stories reliving my childhood. I shared the book with my friend whose girl is 7 years old and she also loved reading it. The new words in book make kids go and find the meanings. It’s a mix of fun and literature. All characters seem to be people around us hence kids can relate to them easily. The suspense kept my boy hooked to it until the end. Loved it totally. Awaiting next release. Thank you Shivani Adib and good luck.” – Rakhi (5 stars)
