In this fourth book for early readers about the irrepressible British Asian brothers, Nikhil and Jay, the boys have four fun adventures at home

Nikhil and Jay feel sorry for Appa when he falls and hurts his ankle, but they make him feel better by playing Dayan, the Indian Board Game.

Litter-picking at the Clean and Green Club is great fun when the boys do it in the park with all their friends.

One windy day Nikhil, Jay, Amma and Appa make kites and decorate them - and have a fantastic time flying them.

Jay doesn't like tidying up but he discovers that putting away his toys can be a fun game when he does it together with Nikhil!

The Nikhil and Jay series is perfect for children moving on from picture books to longer storybooks.
