What are the animals up to? by Aadya Upadhyay


About the book


 The book is a collection of four short stories with an interesting animal character at the centre of each story and lots of other animal characters in the supporting roles. As the title suggests, each story unfolds itself into a captivating narrative of what is happening in the lives of Blanca, the camel; Karkataka, the crab; Henry, the hippo and Bob, the blob fish in the animal world. The stories have their own essence and speak about the bond of friendship and trust, the show of valour and courage in times of dire need, how procrastination can cause disappointments and also about dreams and self- belief. The eye- catching and colourful illustrations are enchanting and enhance the reader’s experience throughout.
