Children, accompanied by parents or guardians, came during the children’s hours to visit the Children’s Corner (Shishu Chattar) and the rest of the fair on both the days, bringing delight and joy to everyone. The children’s hours are a relatively new introduction to the fair and have been massively popular. The whole book fair was teeming with children in colorful dresses. Much to their delight, like other days of children’s hour, Haalum, and Tuktuki – characters of Bangla television series Sisimpur – appeared before them. The fair has dedicated 11am to 1pm especially for children, styled Children’s Hour (Shishu Prahar) every Friday and Saturday.
