A bucketful of books to keep little eyes, fingers and minds ticking and busy.

By looking at pictures and absorbing their details, early learners develop the basic skills required for reading and for later enjoying the nuances of language. Tulika’s growing list of picture books has several series within it built around concepts, themes, genres and characters. Diverse and engaging visual styles and texts come together to offer an enriching reading experience.

The entire selection is featured here under the different series, going from the latest to the oldest, and available in nine languages. Click on a book for its description.

In response to the needs of children growing up in a multilingual society, these books provide access to two languages at a time – Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati or Bengali, paired with English. The text is deliberately simple to allow the two languages on the page to be as close as possible to each other, so one can be followed through the other.

Our select list of paperbacks has contemporary novellas, adventure stories, teenage diaries, fantasy, historical fiction, graphic novels, anthologies and literary nonsense verse, spanning a range of styles, formats and themes. 

Slices of history, flavours of places, explorations of art, perspectives on people, events and the environment… an array of non-fiction served up in exciting ways, put together by established and new writers, activists, thinkers, environmentalists, artists, archaeologists, teachers… 

While colouring books are the new buzz in publishing, Tulika came out with its series as far back as 1997! Popular from the start, the existing books have been into several reprints. More are on the anvil – imaginative, out-of-the-box concepts spanning fiction as well as non-fiction. So watch this space!

Books in this series document innovative methodologies currently in practice. Focusing on creativity in the classroom, they lucidly communicate fresh ideas and tested methods and may be used in any kind of teaching context.

Board books are best for babies, and babies love rhymes. The two come together in these easy to hold, tough to tear books. Some come with the flavours of favourite Indian rhymes adapted into English, some are original fun. Along with the bright, bold visuals designed to hold the attention of little ones – one-month-old to nursery-going – the lively rhythms make for a cheery interactive experience.

Over 100 of our titles in English and Hindi are part of the list compiled by the Central Board of Secondary Education, for recommended reading in schools. Selected by an expert panel, these books for Classes I-XII are regularly requisitioned for schools across the country. 

“Exposing children to a range of children’s literature for independent reading, shared reading as well as read aloud is critical for children to develop sustained literacy skills as well as develop critical thinking, imagination and creativity.” Accordingly, the National Council of Educational Research and Training  drew up a suggestive list of select children’s books as a guide to libraries, schools, NGOs, parents, State Boards and other organisations, which includes several English and Hindi titles from Tulika.
