Grandpa Chatterji

Neetu and her younger brother, Sanjay, anticipate Grandpa Chatterji's arrival from Calcutta somewhat apprehensively. Will he be like Grandpa Leicester who disapproves of Neetu's jeans, mum's job and tells chatterbox Sanjay sternly 'I don't like little boys who interrupt', they wonder. But Grandpa Chatterji, who comes with no luggage other than his bedroll, is altogether different and it's not long before even Grandpa Leicester warms to his winning ways, not to mention his expert culinary skills. Five vividly told stories into which are woven numerous aspects of Indian culture offering ideal starting points for discussion and exploration. Share with 6-8s and then let the more confident readers savour the riches for themselves.
