Children's book: A Fun Day at the Countryside by N.S. Esther My rating: 3 of 5 stars A cute tale of friends going for a picnic in the countryside. The story of little boys and girls who love playing around with water, running behind butterflies and looking at colors of nature fondly. It is more like a slice of life fairy tale which will make your kids dive into an imaginary world. Will force them to create colors and scenarios in their minds. It starts like a normal story then take a prose route for some time. The book is full of bright colors and angelic faces. All in all a good pass time read. Ideal as a night time read for a feel-good factor! View all my reviews

Dog's Advice by Sean Stroud My rating: 4 of 5 stars This children book by Sean Stroud is an ideal read not only for kids but also for adults of all ages. The book is fascinating with pictorial representations and prose form of storytelling. It successfully generates and maintains interest till the end. Dog's Advice, very quietly and humbly makes the reader understand the importance of doing good to others. Something which as adults we all know and teach to our kids, but somehow in our daily lives miss doing it precisely the way it should be done! This 54 pager read very accurately reinforces the power of doing good in our minds, in a straightforward and understandable manner. No complexities, no beating around the bush, just straight to the point! Interest to understand how Kaleb will get on his foot and the identity of the old man is maintained till the last page. 'Don't follow this crowd, you are sure to fail. You be the light, so good can prevail'

Little Bit & Big Byte: A Day at the Beach by Craig T. Feigh My rating: 4 of 5 stars This Children's Book unlike others in the same genre belongs to 'today', the new world. The fairy tales and supermans are a passe and capture the fantasy of kids, but this one tweaks the real things into imagination plus makes them learn on the go! The world inside computers, the names of characters, their descriptions are all so relatable for the kids. Somethings which they listen and see day in and day out. All characters are described to make kids learn about their features and uses. Parents can very well use this book to impart the basic knowledge of the technology. This book very cautiously and carefully creates and places itself in this new genre of Children Book/Literature. The story is basic but weaves the imagination without making it feel awkward to relate to the real world. As an adult, I loved reading it and would definitely recommend! View all my reviews
