The specialty in Tinkle is that it encompasses a group of character sets, rather than a single character. There are various character sets like “Kalia The Crow”, “Tantri the Mantri”, “Anwar” “Nasserudin Hodja” etc, and each one of them would have a story in issue.
It would really be a daunting task to pen stories after having established the characters. But there are always interesting stories in each magazine consistent with the characters is indeed an achievement. And the mother of all achievements is that the book has crossed over 800 issues.
The “Tinkle Tells You Why” provides wonderful answers to the weirdest of queries that are developed in the minds of the children. There are periodic articles to make interesting articles, by hand.
The Tinkle Puzzles always put your mind into the task. The Anu Club Series is a wonderful literary piece that helps in mingling science with everyday life, an area at which our education system is found wanting. The Tinkle encourages participation in all these events, with attractive prizes, and organizes real time competitions like Quiz, Story Writing Competition for its readers.
Tinkle is not all about Stories. It also tests your wit and presence of Mind, with an interesting piece called “Say It Yourself”, where the young readers are asked to fit in a phrase, appropriate for a mini story. The result showing “The Most Common Answer” and “Prize Winning Answer” establishes the convergent and divergent thinking amongst the young Indians.
Overall, Tinkle is the best buy for a young child. And it is instrumental in bringing the Indian Children, the Indian way. We would have craved for it when we were children, and we never wink an eyelid in buying this book for your child.
