Book Review
“Magic Box” written in easy Hindi language by Anulata Raj Nair, Deepak Hira Ranganath, Anita Sethi, Deeksha Chaudhary & Neelesh Misra is a charming collection of stories designed to spark a love for reading in children, all written in Hindi. This 88-page tiny book encourages readers of any age to buckle their imagination and reading habits in a fun, engaging way. Inside readers discover nine heartwarming tales written by four talented authors, paired with delightful illustrations that bring each story to life.
The stories themselves are as engaging as their titles: In one, Rumi sees a frog standing beneath a large mushroom and dreams of having an umbrella like the frog’s to shield him from the sun and rain. In another, Twinkle the Firefly helps her squirrel friend when its house gets flooded, finding a new home for it in a bamboo tree. One of the forest tales features a debate about which is superior—the sun or the moon. In Mini’s garden, a frog and a bird struggle with the fact that they can’t speak like Mini and his brother, who chat freely.
But the book isn’t just about stories—it also imparts valuable lessons on good parenting and connecting with children in meaningful ways. Plus, in the end, there are pictures for kids to color, letting them add their creative touch to the characters. It evokes a feeling of nostalgia, reminding readers of the beloved children’s magazines from the ’90s.
As adults, we often forget the simple joys of childhood, but there’s something magical about the stories we heard back then. Even if those stories fade over time, they always stick with us, often accompanied by the same voices and tones in which they were told. Children’s innocent questions and thoughts fill these stories with colorful details, and when a moral lesson is added, they become even more meaningful—shaping young minds and helping them grow into thoughtful individuals.
