Early Reviewers

“Other than the background, this article [Kummatty] tempts me to read the book. It screams that this book is a MUST read.”

Ayesha Khator, Class VII, Lakshmipat Singhania Academy.

“I really liked the story [Puff the Magic Dragon] because it captured the imaginative outlook on life one has a child. It took me back to the wild imaginations and daydreams I would have earlier.”

Armaan Bhoopal, Class VIII, La Marteniere for Boys

“Interesting and unknown for the new generation, good for leisure hours.”

Arjun Kanoria, Class VIII, La Marteniere for Boys

“I liked the passage which I read ‘Frozen Peas for World Peace’. The backdrop is attractive, the stickers and images just steal hearts, and the explanation is very simple and easy for anyone to understand.”

Yuvvan Agarwal, Class VIII, La Marteniere for Boys

“I liked the passage which I read ‘Frozen Peas for World Peace’. The backdrop is attractive, the stickers and images just steal hearts, and the explanation is very simple and easy for anyone to understand.”

Yuvvan Agarwal, Class VIII, La Marteniere for Boys

“The creative titles are really innovative and extraordinary. It is quite colourful.”

Salluv Agarwal, Class VIII, La Marteniere for Boys

“I love the illustration and the graph! It explains your points well! I am a bit biased toward the designs as it is my hobby to make digital posters and artworks.”

Vihaan Manipuria, Class VIII, La Marteniere for Boys

“I am in love with the writing style. I love how it doesn’t use complex words, is easy to understand and straight to the point, just my style.”

Sayantika Sanyal, Class XI, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar.

“The illustration is done really well and each line written in Tamil along with its translation is impressive. The ‘words to know’ section at the end is also great.” - (about Found in Translation, A Rainy Day in Tamil Nadu)

Iqra Faruque, Class VIII, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“I liked the cover of the book, it is very colourful. I read page 26 [Sitti’s Secrets: Book Review] . . . I got a very informative overview of the whole story and I would actually want to read this story further.”

Sampanna Mukherjee, Class X, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“Thank you so much for inventing such books specially for 10-14 year old. They will actually love it.”

Rakshita Mundhra, Class X, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“The word meaning given in a box is a really good addition! It helps give exposure to new words and improves the vocabulary as well!”

Manasir Singh, Class VIII, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“As a reader, an active one, and an author, the works I have gone through are commendable. The compositions and themes portrayed are moralistic as well as relatable.”

Adiba Hayat Hussain, Class X, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“I particularly like the balance between information about baking and the visual illustrations which are engaging and meant to make a smile plastered all over one’s face!”

Sriyanka Biswas, Class XI, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“I am also quite glad to see self-exploration pieces like this [I think, therefore I am by Billie Eilish: Song Review] which talk about the universal existential crisis of almost all adolescents be published.”

Subhangi Dey, Class XI, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“I simply have no words, I am wonderstruck.” (about the graphic narrative We Are In India Now)

Prishita Basu, Class XI, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“The illustrations on this graphic novel are some of the best I have ever seen. They tell the story of a different time . . . and still helps us empathize. I love the writing and the typesetting and the emotional factor.”

Vidhi Nahata, Class XI, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“I really loved this one [We Are In India Now] and it happens to be my most favourite one as well. The illustrations also make it more engaging.”

P. Kamalika, Class XI, Mahadevi Birla Shishu Vihar

“I love it. I like these kinds of funny stories [The Thief Who Read A Book]. One of the best stories I’ve read.”

Meghatri Naskar, Class V, Dolna Day School

“The presentation is ‘a round of applause’. I am talking to the one who edited this page, can you please give your editing skills to me? I had never seen such a wonderful magazine!”

Elika Patra, Class V, Dolna Day School

“The language greatly helps to enhance vocabulary. The detailed descriptions make the reading experience all the more fun!”

Keiyona Singh, Class VIII, Dolna Day School

“This is the best magazine design I have ever seen and the subject is delightful at least to me.”

Arin Chaurdhuri, Class V, Dolna Day School

“I believe recommending a book such as ‘Sitti’s Secrets’ by Naomi Shihab Nye at the present scenario is not just thoughtful but also ironic. I myself was taken aback by the content of this book.”

Tiasha Pal, Class X, The BSS School

“I feel like “Unpacking” is a great piece to motivate us to actually organise and take care.”

Alisha Khan, Class X, The BSS School

“Best thing of the magazine I feel is how well it incorporates the various different genres like travel stories (postcards), general knowledge (like about fine arts), poems, and other tales. The colour scheme is really great.”

Sunehra Anjum, Class X, The BSS School

“The illustrations are VERY adorableee.”

Aashiyana Ashfaque, Class IX, The BSS School

“The opening sentences are extremely engaging and I think very effective for involving children to read the entire article.”

Ruhee Afreen Haque, Class X, The BSS School

“It could be more engaging if the illustrations would be life-like and with lots of examples of great players of such online and offline games. To make it more interesting, it needed to be more detailed.”

Moumita Mahato, Class X, Filix School of Education

“The magazine is very good and very beautifully created but there is some mistakes like stars and images are goin ginside of the writings so we can’t read the words but the words and illustrations were nice. I liked one thing that is the mix of Bengali and English words.”

Sara Choudhury, Syeda Eshal Kowsaw, Adrrita Das, Prapti Haldar, Class VI, Filix School of Education
