Little Frog/Kutti Thavalai (English-Tamil)

Rainy goodness

Little frog jumps out of the pond for the very first time - but the land is dry. When will it rain? he asks his mother. When the sky becomes dark with clouds, she responds. So, day after day, Little Frog gazes at the sky in the hope of seeing black clouds roll in. A great book for teaching the days of the week... the adult reading out to the child could also make it a fun guessing game, such as, What could this black thing in the sky be? Another interesting feature is the use of various animals associated with water - the crane, duck, crab, peacock, kingfisher and fish, which in itself become another learning tool. Clear, lucid illustrations with a lot of white space makes it very inviting for a young child to delve into the book. Young India Books
