I ordered Not Yet Zeebra after reading this article on Chapters website and my daughter loved it. Good to find authentic children’s books in Pakistan so glad to recommend Chapters to other mothers :)
Good recommendations on children’s books by Chapters. I would like to add Harry Potter as it is a classic. Great to see so many unique titles available for children in Pakistan. Keep it up.
