Singh, Rina, 1955-

My first book of Hindi words : an ABC rhyming book of Hindi language and Indian culture / ABC rhyming book of Hindi language and Indian culture by Rina Singh ; Illustrated by Farida Zaman. - 30 pages : color illustrations ; 21 x 24 cm

Organized as an ABC rhyming book, My First Book of Hindi Words incorporates common Hindi words into charming English-language rhymes, beginning with: "A is for akash. A sky so blue where little birds fly and big planes, too," and on through "Z is for zukhaam. Achoo! I sneeze. I must have a cold. Mama, hug me please!" Full-color pictures illustrate each word and allow even very young readers to make their first foray into India's official language. A glossary at the end makes it easy for readers--including parents and teachers--to review what they've learned.
