Tulika's wide range of books covers diverse themes and subjects, with different approaches and

storylines, creating a valuable classroom resource from kindergarten to high school. While some
of these are published as series or sets – like Looking at Art, Illustrated Classics, First Look
Science, etc. – many of the others slide easily under a specific theme, sometimes more than one.

The sets given below are ideal for initiating discussions in class around difficult topics like death,
disability and gender related issues. They are also useful for projects and activity based learning
linked to the curriculum, covering reading, writing, maths, science and environment studies and
so on.
