Mohit was tired and soon dozed off. It was past midnight when he was awakened by muffled sounds. They were coming from the garden. He lay quietly and listened, just to be sure. Then he got up and peered through the window of his first-floor bedroom. In the moonlight, he could see some movement and a hazy outline.
Who can it be? Who can it be?
About three days ago, he had seen a wooden plank in the garden but had not paid attention. Maybe his father or mother, both keen gardeners, had placed it there. He noticed that the movements were taking place around that plank.
Is it an animal, some stray dog, which has jumped over the fence? Mohit paced the room, returning to the window.
Should I go or not go? Should I wake up Mama? No, that would be a disaster.
Finally, mustering some courage, Mohit decided to investigate, and he prayed.
I hope I don’t get any nasty surprises…
My Thoughts On The Book
Children are naturally drawn to storybooks that include captivating illustrations. The sight, texture, and opportunity to engage with the pictures truly enchant them. When I came across this particular storybook, which seamlessly combines beautiful illustrations with an engaging narrative, it evoked a deep nostalgia within me, making me long to relive my own childhood once more. It saddens me to witness how many children of today's generation spend a significant amount of time engrossed in electronic devices, missing out on the simple pleasures of sitting back, relaxing, and immersing themselves in the joy of reading this book or asking their elders to read it to them.
As I journeyed across the pages of this book, I found myself completely immersed in the story, able to vividly imagine the characters and the vibrant garden that surrounded them. The narrative captivated me, drawing me in with its enchanting power. The illustrations, in particular, played a crucial role in bringing the story to life, making me feel as if I had stepped into a tangible world where the tale unfolded before my eyes.
This book is perfect for a brief bedtime story or as a tool to cultivate the habit of reading in children during their early steps towards reading independently. Its simple language and engaging content make it an ideal choice to spark their interest and encourage them on their reading journey.
It is my belief that the innocence of children should not be overshadowed by excessive screen time. Instead, they should be introduced to fiction stories that blend humor, entertainment, and moral lessons. Books like the one at hand serve as the perfect medium to provide all of these elements simultaneously. Within this book, there is a tale that showcases the story of a child who fearlessly assists a mysterious and seemingly perilous individual in finding their missing uncle, without any expectations of personal gain or succumbing to fear. Sadly, the essence of this innocence is gradually diminishing, as children increasingly absorb influences not solely from books or parental guidance but from television and other media sources.
It is a good book for kids..
My Note To The Author
In a world where children are increasingly absorbed by screens, this book offers a remarkable approach that brings them back to the real world, where books become their closest companions. While writing a book alone might not suffice, your inclusion of captivating illustrations sets a powerful example of how children's books can be made even more enticing, thereby ensuring their value and usefulness in capturing children's attention and imagination.
If you are looking for a gift for your kid or for your kids friends, you should opt for this book along with other things you wish to give them. They will enjoy it and come back to get more such books.
