CELEBRATE HOLI WITH 10 GULAB JAMUNS

MATH, FOOD, and FUN meet in this delightful story (counting, subtraction, arithmetic)

Siblings Idu (Ee-doo) and Adu (Aa-doo) are very excited. Guests are coming over for dinner and Mama is making a special dessert- Ten Gulab Jamuns! Sweet, golden, sugar-syrup-soaked Gulab Jamuns that melt in your mouth. But Mama asks them to stay away from the bowl of treats; they can only eat the ten Gulab Jamuns after the guests arrive. But can Idu and Adu wait?

This light-hearted, humorous story will warm your heart (and make you hungry!). It also includes STEM elements of counting, addition, and subtraction. The recipe in the back is also a great hands-on activity to do with your little ones. High re-readability value!
