Informative and well written
Wonderful book. Very informative. All the books in this series (including "Off to states of India") are very well written and designed. Was easy for my 7 yr old daughter to read by herself. Kids will love it

Great for 7 -8 year olds
It's child friendly writing and information is loved by my son. He also likes to solve the puzzles in the books. I highly recommend this whole series for class 4 children. History and country introduced with fun and ease.

Under-representation of South Indian monuments. Photographs overall could have been better.
Insufficient coverage of South Indian monuments, even for those covered, many have very poorly selected photos. For many of the monuments in general, photos should have been better. The write-ups for all the monuments are very informative and precise, but the accompanying photos for many are not good enough, and the weightage distribution should have been more balanced between monuments of the north and south.
