Our Review

This charming Bengali-language picture book introduces young readers to Amanda, a relatable child who struggles with time management and often finds herself procrastinating instead of completing her tasks. When a magical twist of fate transports Amanda through a day where time behaves unexpectedly, she discovers the importance of using her hours purposefully. The story gently explores concepts of daily routines, responsibility, and the value of making thoughtful choices about how one spends their day. Young children will easily connect with Amanda's initial reluctance to tackle chores and her wonder at the story's enchanting turn of events.

What makes this family story particularly effective is how it transforms the abstract concept of time management into a tangible, magical adventure that preschoolers can understand. The narrative avoids lecturing, instead allowing children to draw their own conclusions alongside Amanda as she experiences the consequences of lost time. This bilingual edition serves as an excellent resource for Bengali-speaking families or those wishing to introduce the language, seamlessly blending cultural elements with a universal childhood experience. The heartwarming resolution leaves children with a positive message about taking initiative, making this an engaging tool for parents discussing routines and responsibility.
