"A bustling outdoor market is the setting of this captivating concept picture book.... Rhythmically propulsive language and vibrant, naif-style digital illustrations make the most of each stop as well as the introduced foods, which include elaichis, jalebis, samosas, sheeras, and more."

"This is a well-thought-out, refreshingly original work, with whimsical illustrations beautifully complementing the exuberant text. A charming concept book, an upbeat romp, and an ode to South Asian cuisine, all in one delectable package."
