Gobi Goes Viral by Vibha Batra is funny, heart-warming, and altogether believable. We’ve read and loved Kolam Kanna and Pinkoo Shergill at my book club, and I’m happy to introduce yet another book by the same writer to the children I meet. Here’s what we’ll do as we read this story!
Talent Show
How can we read a book about a talent show without having a talent show of our own? Over time, I’ve had children recite poetry, play musical instruments, draw and solve a Rubik’s Cube during our book club. It’s always lovely to see a side of children that I wouldn’t otherwise get to see if we stuck to just reading in class!
Similes
Vegetables
Whenever Gopi meets someone, he is reminded of a vegetable. This led to a fun conversation about what vegetables we’re like and why!

We’re rereading this book by Vibha Batra at my book club because it was so much fun when we read it for the first time! We rapped, spoke about differences we see between people, and even invited author Vibha Batra to talk to us! Join us as we reread this one.
