Description


'Do ' is a set of action pictures, rendered in the traditional Warli style of art. It introduces basic verbs to the young reader through a series of pictograms which both illustrate the verb and tell a story. Every page or pair of pages invites the child to explore a busy world and make up her own tale.

About the Author


First published in 1905, German poet Christian Morgenstern's Im Reich der Interpunktionen is a darkly comic linguistic caprice. Inspired by English literary nonsense verse, his work continues to be popular with contemporary lovers of comic and philosophical poetry. An exciting voice in contemporary Indian writing, Sirish Rao has authored over eighteen books, ranging from novels to children's books, re-tellings of myths to pop art collections. HIs books have won international awards and have been translated into several languages. His writing reflects his interest in nature, mountaineering, travel, eccentric people and the oddities of language. Rathna Ramanathan has steered the design philosophy of Tara since the very beginning, working on over twenty titles, as well as creating distinctive catalogs and exhibitions. In the process, she can be said to have pioneered innovative children's book design in India.
