Around India with Ruskin Uncle – Ruskin Bond

Description

India is one of the most fascinating countries on earth, chock-full of extraordinary monuments, fabulous natural wonders, remarkable animals, colourful festivals, and unique traditions. In this gorgeously illustrated book, children can discover for themselves amazing facts about the history, geography, food, clothes, and culture of every state and union territory of the nation, and learn how to say ‘hello’ and ‘welcome’ in every major Indian language. Along the way, they will meet giant turtles, red pandas, and tortoiseshell butterflies, and sample food from various parts of the country—the delectable momo, pav bhaji, dal baati churma, and much, much more.

An unforgettable journey through the country—from the serene monasteries of Ladakh to the vibrant communities of the Tamil Nadu coastline; the deep green forests of Kerala to the stunning white sands of Gujarat; the palm-fringed deserts of Rajasthan to the misty mountains of Arunachal Pradesh—this book will introduce children to the myriad enchantments of India, with their favourite author, Ruskin Bond, as their guide.
