DESCRIPTION:
"Good text; cheesy rhymes; great illustrations" according to M. Heiss. This book would be better if the rhyming stanzas were eliminated.The illustrations and explanatory text are simply excellent. The rhymes are cheesy."Z is for Zero.India's gift to math is the invention of the zero.In seventh century BC the scholar was a hero.""S is for spices.Cumin, turmeric, saffron -- all blended to appeal.Lentils, beans and veggies make a fragrant meal.""O is for Ocean.The vast Arabian Sea, the sparkling Indian Ocean,the flowing sacred Ganges are poetry in motion."Get the book anyway. The text is great (apart from the rhymes)and a very good teaching tool. Beautiful illustrations are absolutely perfect.. Preschool Teacher loves gift book Mittsojourner Have friends with new baby. The husband is from India. This book has great words for each letter and lovely pictures. I could not have been happier. Great service too.
