Rimis Red Book

Author: Mozammel Haque Neogi

Illustrator: Yusuf Ali Noton

Translator: Alisha Berger

Rimi likes to try new things.

She is always on the move!

Today, she sees Jitu reading a book.

The moment Jitu opens the book...

Rimi snatches it away! Now Jitu can’t read at all.

The next day, Rimi does the same thing.

She says, “I want to read. Give me the red book.”

Jitu says, “I'm reading the red book, Rimi. You take another book.”

“No, no, give me the red book!” Rimi cries. "I want to read the red book!”

“Fine! Take it! I will just read this green book," Jitu sighs.

“No, no, give me the green book too. I want to read both of them!”

One after another, Rimi takes all the books.

Jitu thinks, This will not work. What can I do?

Suddenly, Jitu remembers how his father used to make him his very own books. So Jitu decides to make some books for Rimi in the same way.

When he’s done, he calls, “Rimi, I have a surprise for you!”

Rimi giggles happily. She asks Jitu for paper and paints.

Rimi makes her own book and shows it to Jitu.

“Wow Rimi! ” Jitu says. "Your book looks great!”

Now Rimi has a new favorite thing.

She likes making books, and then reading them.

And the red book will always be best of all!

But what about Jitu? Can he read now?
