Reviews
Fans of Faruqi’s popular Yasmin series will be pleased to meet Pakistani American secondgrader Ali Tahir and his family. In this early chapter book, Ali, along with his grandfather and mischief-prone little brother, Fateh, go on a snack run. At the South Asian market, keeping an eye on Fateh is an adventure. Ali’s quick reflexes and creative thinking thwart a spicy-chips display disaster as well as a lost-sib debacle. A preface offers an introductory character guide and an Urdu glossary. Three ultra-readable chapters feature large type font, generous line spacing, and short sentences. Indonesian illustrator Rahmalia’s dynamic cartoon vignettes are full of energy and personality. Back matter includes “Think Big with Ali the Great” discussion questions, some jokes, and a snack lexicon of Dada’s favorite Pakistani tasty treats, like crispy nimko and salty chickpeas. An irresistible series opener that leaves young readers hungry for more., STARRED REVIEW! Readers meet Ali Tahir, a second-grade Pakistani American boy, in Faruqi’s newest early chapter book. First, they can explore the guide to Ali’s family members and learn some important Urdu words with pronunciation help. Next, readers follow Ali, his little brother Fateh, and grandfather Dada to the South Asian market on a hunt for snacks. While Dada goes to find the items on his list, Ali is tasked with watching his little brother, and “one thing Fateh was good at was trouble.” In their short time at the market, Ali avoids chip-display destruction and finds his escape artist of a brother before his Dada finds out about his (nearly) missing sibling. This supermarket adventure is written with large black text, with plenty of spacing and relatively simple vocabulary for newly independent readers. The joyful cartoon illustrations on nearly every page are simple and not overwhelming. Following the main text is a page of jokes; a description of Pakistani snacks, like crispy nimko and kulfi; and a few discussion questions for readers. VERDICT A strong, charming first purchase for any library., This delightful early chapter book features Pakistani American second grader Ali Tahir and his family. Ali, his Dada, and little brother head to the market, where mishaps ensue. The sweet family dynamic, pitch-perfect text, and appealing illustrations will resonate with those not yet ready for longer chapter books., Young readers will have a blast with second-grader Alí Tahir, his Pakistani family, and his school friends in this fun, Spanish-language chapter book series. Colorful illustrations and short, fast-paced chapters will have readers joining Alí in a paper airplane competition, a fun-filled field trip to the museum, a quick visit to the supermarket, and in celebrating Eid with loved ones. Alí and his friends have positive interactions and relationships in which they help one another. The title character also enjoys time with his loving family, including his sometimes-troublemaking little brother. The series is full of kid-friendly high jinks and relevant situations that will resonate with young readers. Each volume includes words for children to learn in Urdu, jokes, activities, and questions to think about. Fans of the “Yasmin” titles will love seeing her in this series as Alí’s classmate and friend. The bright, charming art will delight emerging readers.VERDICT A solid chapter book series for Spanish-language children’s collections, especially where diverse religious representation is needed., Employing the feel of a classic aughts family cartoon, Faruqi (the Mayra Khan series) and Rahmalia (Gracie Brings Back Bubbe’s Smile) collaborate on a freewheeling series starter that emphasizes a child’s creativity and quick thinking. Pakistani American youth Ali Tahir is thrilled when his grandfather, whom he calls Dada, suggests an outing to the local South Asian market to pick up snacks. When Dada and Ali bring along Fateh, Ali’s toddler-age younger brother, Dada asks Ali to help him keep an eye on Fateh–after all, “one thing Fateh was good at was trouble.” Upon their arrival to the market, Fateh–awed by the many colorful and delicious snacks on offer–nearly knocks down an entire display in his haste to grab a bag of chips. Ali successfully circumvents disaster, but when he loses sight of Fateh, Ali draws upon his problem-solving skills to find his brother and prevent further trouble. Rahmalia’s dynamic and brightly colored illustrations portray the myriad emotions Ali experiences during his eventful market adventure. Includes an Urdu glossary, discussion questions, and lists of jokes and cultural snacks. Publishing simultaneously: Ali the Great and the Dinosaur Mistake, Ali the Great and the Eid Party Surprise, and Ali the Great and the Paper Airplane Flop. Ages 5-8. (Aug.)
