One very wobbly jalebi cart When a speedy little billi races toward a rumbling bus and disappears into the crowd, Chiku runs to save her.

Hindi is written in easy-to-read Roman letters. The book also includes Let's Play with Chiku , an activity that practices the same words through movement and pretend play.
