About the Book
In The Great Toy Debate, Gudiya, the cloth doll, and her friends embark on a fascinating journey to Kolkata right during the grand Durga Puja festivities. Its Gudiyas first time in the big city, and shes in awe of the tall buildings, busy streets, and the neon-lit toy shops. As Gudiya and her companions, including a terracotta horse and shola dolls, explore the city, they encounter factory-made toys like Bettys, teddies, and action figures. What follows is an exciting and thought-provoking debate about the differences between lovingly handcrafted toys and their mass-produced counterparts.

As they discuss their origins, purposes, and lives, the question arises: Can these two very different worldshandmade toys versus factory-made toysever find common ground? Will Gudiya and her friends ever befriend the stylish and somewhat mean Bettys, teddies, and action figures? This engaging and imaginative story introduces young readers to the world of toys, creativity, and the beauty of craftsmanship.
