SHARJAH INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR is an annual must-visit ritual for us. It is the largest book fair of the region and is graced by many authors and book launches.
After our haul of books from the last fair, (http://colorsofourrainbow.blogspot.ae/2014/11/sharjah-book-fair-for-love-of-written.html) we were waiting for this year's event.
As the adverts got plastered all over the city, our daughter's demand to be taken there, went up a notch.
Look at what we spotted this year, apart from the books, of course.

STILT WALKERS
They were probably 10 times the height of our little one :)
PINOCCHIO
A play based on Carlo Collodi's novel. A group of very talented artists put up an enthralling play.
What a visual memory of the story, for every time we get to read it. Surprisingly, our daughter actually sat still in her seat through the length of the entire play, which was about 45 minutes. Wow.
THE WORLD'S SMALLEST BOOK
COMICAVE
Little smaller than the thumb and tiny little pages - this is the world's smallest book on sale. For a price as small as the book, just AED 10. You can own one of the smallest books in the world :)
The world's largest comic and collectible store, had a very inviting stand. All the super hero fans would have just loved picking up their hero from here.
Oh yeah! We did browse and buy a handful of books.
So if you are in the vicinity, pop in with your kids, before it closes on 14th of November, 2015.
