It had been a while since I did a review for PlusMinus'n'More but the timing was perfect. Now I had some exciting reading material for my week long holiday. And the book definitely lived up to my expectations. For a detailed review of the book click here.

I just read The Gory Story Of Genghis Khan, and it has been far more enjoyable, than I could have imagined. Nayanika's cheeky writing style and endless supply of puns make this book as entertaining, as it is informative. And as for exciting, well it is about a blood thirsty conqueror ...

This story has all the elements of a great children's book. Funny, lively, written in rhyme, an excellent rhythm when read out loud, and with lovely illustrations the book is thoroughly enjoyable. But there is something else about it, that makes it really special to me as a writer and a mother.

My older one has always loved story time and Dr. Seuss in a great favourite. It was for me too. My favourite was Wacky Wednesday. My mother still complains that I made her read that book way too many times. I loved counting all the wacky things on each page. Some of those things were outrageous.

As a kid, I read a lot of Enid Blyton. So my world of children's stories was full of British boarding schools, or kids tackling exciting mysteries and having amazing adventures. Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys were along similar lines too. There were books of magic and goblins and witches and wizards as well. But I must say, I never read a book that revolved around the everyday problems of regular teens.

Amazing Me! The Right Way To Be, was the first story I read to my daughter when she was almost two. It was a big hit with her. read on to find ou why.
