Arthi's Bomma por Mamta Nainy
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Arthi's bomma is the story of a young girl in India who learns the significance behind the dolls that her family makes, and finds that they are much more than toys. This book is beautifully illustrated in a traditional style and has a glossary of the Telugu words used in the book. These things make it a great book for cultural education.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.This colorfully illustrated book tells the story of dolls made in India and their role in the culture. When Arthi takes her favorite wooden doll to school, her mates tease her about the doll, saying that no one plays with them any more. Arthi tells her dad about this situation, and his explanation leads to more questions. Arthi speaks with other family members to learn more about the dolls and their role in the culture of her people.
I liked the illustrations, as they seemed reflective of the culture in the story. They were flat, almost like paper cutouts that were embellished. The book contains a glossary in the back to explain unfamiliar words, and includes several pages (designed for adults) that tell the history and backstory of the dolls and their makers and their roles in the culture of India and the Hindu religion. I think this would be an excellent read-aloud story, with the repetition of phrases. However, I also would have liked a more definitive ending to the story.

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Beautiful artwork, fantastic introduction to taking pride in your family's work, and a great way to add diversity to the book shelf. There's a lot in the back of the book too he'll your child learn more about the book's culture. However, the story feels at though it cuts off without a satisfying conclusion.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Arthi's Bomma is about a little girl who takes her homemade doll to school and is made fun of. At home she learns the history of handmade dolls in her culture and learns to respect them. The story is a good life lesson for children to respect other cultures, learn about their histories and be respectful of other's feelings. The illustrations weren't enjoyable to me but children will like the simplicity.
