Bookaroo is much more than just storytelling – although we have plenty of that! The festival includes workshops on everything from mathematics to cartoons, from building alien worlds to recycling paper; as well as story sessions under the banyan tree, puppet shows, and a doodle wall to let your imagination take flight! Meet your favourite authors, and well-loved children’s characters – from Horrid Henry to Elmer the Elephant, from characters from the Panchatantra to Ramayana, from Taranauts to I Heroes, From Mukand to Felicia. There is also a special display of children’s books by Eureka, the festival bookstore where you can buy and browse and have your books signed. Set in 7 acres of beautiful open grounds at Sanskriti Anandgram, on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon highway, there’s plenty to see and do for parents and children this weekend. ENTRY IS ALWAYS FREE and ALL ARE WELCOME
