Sooo Much Work!! and Oops!! are delightful reads from a Bal Sahitya Akademi-winning author and illustrator. They represent a significant foray into the area of inexpensive board books for our young readers. Sooo Much Work!! and Oops!! are charming, light-hearted accounts of the little things a child does to keep himself entertained through the day. Author Madhuri Purandare explores Aarav’s imagination and simply but humorously depicts the home as it appears to him. The books are brief and easy to follow. By setting them in Aarav’s home, and surrounding him with common household objects, Madhuri Purandare tells stories that children will naturally identify with. The books are illustrated beautifully by the author herself. The colour palette is gentle and the detailing in each frame is careful and heartfelt. They tell the story even more richly than the text. The pictures are evocative portraits of a house that is inhabited by a young child, his mother and his grandparents.
