This story is filled with vivid pictures and the animals are given an Indian look along with beautiful Indian names. We loved to read this humour-filled story and Nathan had a riot of laughter when he turned the page to Manu the monkey. Manu jumps up and down in Shanmugam’s belly and calls it a joy ride. We also enjoyed the quick wit of bahadur the elephant. His timely sense helped his jungle from a big disaster.

Just like this story says to use your wit and turn one’s weakness into a strength in a difficult situation.
