Beautifully written children’s story book. Each story revolves around an endangered species of India. It is enlightening and thought provoking too. The book will definitely make a child want to learn more about animals and the importance of their conservation.

A fun read as the author skillfully weaves a tale around each endangered species and its habitat. The stories fire the imagination of the reader and provides food for thought. It is a wonderful introduction to conservation and emphasizes the importance of family and home for all living creatures. At the end of each story, the author gently prods the reader to ponder further on the subject. The beautiful illustrations bring life to the stories and reminds the reader, once again, how unique our Earth is, only because these magnificent creatures exist.
