5.0 out of 5 stars Meets NLS objective: Year 5 Term 3, TLW 1., 8 April 2002
By jananhalil@hotmail.com (Birmingham, England.) - See all my reviews
The fiction book "Grandpa Chatterji" sets an excellent context for observing how characters and relationships are portrayed, as well as for comparing language, cultural customs and beliefs in a natural and unforced way.

Neetu and her little brother Sanjay have two grandpas, Dad's dad Grandpa Leicester, and Mum's dad, Grandpa Chatterji, who lives in India. One day Grandpa Chatterji comes to visit them and they discover what a wonderful, loving a surprising grandpa he is.

A strong point of the book is the use of charcoal drawings used to support the text. This allows children to imagine what the characters look like and how they behave.

The book will enlighten any class about the customs and beliefs of a different cultures in a manner that is unthreatening and uplifting. A lovely book that brings a smile to the face.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grandpa Chatterji is a terrific read!, 11 Jun 2007
By Mr. T. J. Potter (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Grandpa Chatterji (Paperback)
"Grandpa Chatterji" by Jamila Gavin tells the story of two children named Neetu and Sanjay, and what happens when their incredible Grandpa comes to stay.

Neetu and Sanjay are young Asian children living in Britain. One day their mother tells them that their Grandpa is coming to stay. For some people that might not be especially unusual, but for Neetu and Sanjay it is very exciting because their Grandpa comes from India and they have never seen him before in their lives!

At first, they are worried that he might be strict and unfriendly, but when he finally arrives they quickly discover that he is kind and gentle. Plus, he is also generous, and brings them special presents too!

Neetu and Sanjay soon discover that Grandpa Chatterji does lots of amazing things, like meditating while standing on his head, and baking special Indian treats. Soon all three of them are off having adventures at the fair. After that Neetu and Sanjay go to visit Grandpa Chatterji back at his own home in India, where they learn all sorts of new things about their own family and Indian culture. But if you want to know what adventures they all have together, you'll need to read the book for yourself!

I really loved reading this book. I thought that even though it is a fiction book, the characters were very realistic, and I felt really sad when I got to the end. The writing is very good, with lots of lovely descriptions of people and places throughout the book. It is also really funny and sometimes made me laugh out loud. Overall, I would strongly recommend this book to both boys and girls aged between 9 and 11.
