Editorial Review
“This book is by far one of my favorite kids’ books of all time… Dev Shah created a well written, and impeccably formatted well of knowledge that can be used in schools and at home to teach about the Fauna in India … [This] is a Five Star MUST-have book for all kids’ libraries. The author in my book is a role model for kids all over the world. Can’t wait to see what else he comes up with.”
