Description:

What happens when a boy who longs for a pet crocodile actually gets one — and discovers it has a taste for butter chicken at breakfast? Chaos, comedy, and plenty of surprises! That's just one of the many delights in this charming anthology of animal stories from bestselling children's author Khyrunnisa A. Meet Karthik, who can't wait to receive a kite for his birthday (though perhaps not the kind he expects), join a hunt for a missing pair of glasses that leads to a runaway monkey and a volley of flying eggs, and encounter a wonderful menagerie of creatures and the people whose lives they tumble into. By turns hilarious and tender, often with unexpected and satisfying endings, this collection of short, bite-sized tales celebrates the warmth, mischief, and unlikely friendships between animals and humans. A perfect read for animal lovers and anyone who enjoys a good giggle.
