In this fourth book for early readers about the irrepressible British Asian brothers, Nikhil and Jay, the boys have four fun adventures at home
- Nikhil and Jay feel sorry for Appa when he falls and hurts his ankle, but they make him feel better by playing Dayan, the Indian Board Game.
- Litter-picking at the Clean and Green Club is great fun when the boys do it in the park with all their friends.
- One windy day Nikhil, Jay, Amma and Appa make kites and decorate them – and have a fantastic time flying them.
- Jay doesn’t like tidying up but he discovers that putting away his toys can be a fun game when he does it together with Nikhil!
The Nikhil and Jay series is perfect for children moving on from picture books to longer storybooks.
