Hindi Children's Book Sonu's Stories: Level 3 Easy Reader (Bilingual English Hindi Consolidated Children's Easy Readers)

This book is a nice idea. However, there are LOTS of English words used instead of Hindi words for something ('pruner' is not a Hindi word it is an English word - either translate it or create a story in which all the words are in Hindi. In a book like this ALL words should be translated into Hindi (for example Ball is 'Gend' in Hindi and in this book they use the word 'Gend' once and 'Ball' many many times.)There are many typographical errors of the Hindi transliteration in English - it is very frustrating to read with so many typographical errors (did anyone proof read this?).Great concept, unfortunately little attention to detail makes this a difficult book to read.

This is a fabulous book to have for kids to read and learn Hindi. My two children love hearing the stories at bed-time, and would read each of the stories over and over again. The language is the type of natural Hindi they hear us speak among our friends. It is great that the authors have not used pure Hindi but used common English words in the stories. This makes the stories both enjoyable and natural for my kids.
