Ever since I heard about Tulika, I've been in love with all of their books. Each one of them is so fun to read. I introduced Tulika's books to D when she was 2 years old and till date she still loves reading some of them over and over again. This one here is such a simple yet fun read.

Story: The story is about a cute little girl, Minnie coming home from school and can't find her pet cat Pooni. She goes all around the neighborhood in search of Pooni and is upset when she can't find Pooni anywhere. The ending is quite cute and brings a sigh of relief :)

What we loved:

• The brilliant and vibrant illustrations which bring the busy Indian city streets to life. I was extremely nostalgic when I looked at pictures of the mailbox, autos, parrot lady, the fruit and vegetable seller. A was so fascinated by autos during a recent trip to India and we read this book right after we came back. He was so happy pointing out the autos in this book. 
• The cute names of the characters - Minnie and Pooni - They bring a huge smile to A's face every time I ask him what is the cat's name and he goes "Pooooooni". 
• A loved finding the hiding Pooni in every page of the book. It was as though he and the cat were playing hide and seek.
• Finally, the simple and short story.
