School Library Journal - 08/23/2024 PreS-Gr 3—Readers join Ibraheem and his cat Mitu as they explore the breathtaking landscape of Pakistan while riding in Baba's rickshaw. Through bright and vibrant illustrations, Prabhat invites readers in to experience the beauty that can be found every day in Pakistan. The rhythmic text creates an opening for children to clap, stomp, and sing along on the journey throughout the city: "Baba taps his horn, BEEP BEEP! Thanks, Aunty! MEOW MEOW says Mitu. Wheee I say." The pairing of the rhythmic text and the vibrant pictures is sure to intrigue readers of all ages to explore a culture and way of life that they may not be as familiar with or revisit a place where they or relatives have lived. VERDICT With a wide range of skin tones and clothing, this is a welcome addition to the story hour roster.—Katherine Kefi - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
