Bhorta Bhorta Baby

Bhorta Bhorta Baby is a great book for exploring cuisines from different countries and introducing culture through food. Our nursery children enjoyed sharing the story listening to the basic steps of how to make the Bangladeshi/Bengali 'aloo bhorta' dish.  Bright colourful illustrations and lots of vocabulary to discuss and explore, especially the names of the different ingredients needed for the recipe.

We are very keen that every child in our setting has an opportunity to see 'themselves in a book' and one of our children talked about how they make this dish at home. Imagine the children's delight the following day when he brought in some that his mum had made with him for us all to try. A wonderful book to link home culture and school.

We enjoyed this book because it reminded us of preparing food and eating in Bangladesh and also of sharing food at home. We liked the little child because he was learning about food and how to cook. The pictures are happy and we loved repeating the words and actions. We read it over and over and then we cooked our own Bengali dish like Bhorta Bhorta Baby.

The children in Nursery loved this book about cooking because the baby was helping to prepare and cook the food. The pictures in Bhorta Bhorta Baby are bright with lots of key words for the children to join in with and lots of actions too. The children enjoyed repeating the words and joining in as they pretended to cook. This is a perfect book for little children and little hands to enjoy.
