A Book For Puchku – Puchku just loves books. She reads and reads all day long. Until one day she has read all the books, all that is except the ones on the very high shelf. How ever will she get to the books on the very high shelf? Read this beautifully illustrated picture book, A Book for Puchku, to find out.
This book is another great creative commons children’s story book brought to us by Pratham and the Storyweaver platform.

Hi Asya, some of our books are available on video – I will start a category for this, your comment gave me a good idea, in the mean time, here’s a link to this one on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3TIMeHMuxA, this version is in a fairly strong Indian accent, but it should give you a general idea of the pronunciation.
