Old Delhi - where Elephants Go to School

This charming chapter book introduces children to the bustling, colorful world of Old Delhi, India, through the eyes of a young boy named Hari Sharma. Presented as a series of enthusiastic pen-pal letters, Hari shares his daily life, from goats in cardigans and silver sweets at his sister's wedding to navigating traffic with camels and cricket balls. It's a delightful cultural immersion, perfect for ages 4-11, offering a personal and engaging look at Indian customs, family life, and the joy of discovery.

Hello to YOU! It is me, Hari Sharma! I live in Old Dehli in the big huge country of India. Just for you, I have done some excellent pen-pal writings about my goings and comings in this busy-whizzy place. You can: - find out why goats are wearing cardigans - and not for the fashion! - suck on sweets made of silver and be blinded by lightbulbs at my sister's wedding - cycle with me through the Delhi traffics - watch out for camels and cricket balls! Meet our great gods, too, visit brave birds in hospital and find out why an elephant is your best friend. Yes! You will go wild for my scribblings! Hari!
