Book Review : Snoring Shanmugam

I have bought "Snoring Shanmugam" story book for Medha as she was impressed with pictures inside the book when we went to a bookstore. And she asks me to read this book whenever she think of Lion or snoring. Here is our review on this book. 

Title : Snoring Shanmugam

Author : Radhika Chadha

Publisher : Tulika Publisher

Story?

The jungle animals are tired of their snoring and gentle lion king. They figure the snoring stops when they roll Shanmugam to sleep on his side. Their relief does not last long, however. As Kamalnayan, the camel, breaks the bad news about the lean, mean and nasty villain lion almost intruding into their territory. They are irritated with their useless lion king. Just then Bahadur, the baby elephant has a brilliant idea. She whispers the idea to Amma, the mother elephant, which brings an instant smile in Amma. Idea sure works and gets the villain lion running for his life. What is the idea? Read on the story to find out if Bahadur's idea worked out or not!!! :)

What young children will like?

One thing I like about Tulika books is that they are not preachy. Simple stories with lot of room for interpretation and imagination.

• Beautiful pictures of Animals 
• Indian and Fancy names of animals like Kamalnayan - the camel, Chandu - the crocodile, Ritu - the rabbit, Paytu - the pig are some of the characters in the book.
The giggling hits the roof when we ask Kids to snore like Shanmugam, the Lion.

Medha liked it ? 

• She loved the pictures a lot, Each and every picture of animals
• Guess the villain lion’s name – Gabbar Singh!!! Medha always laughs out loud, when I say Gabbar Singh as she likes "Gabbar Singh" telugu movie starring Pawan Kalyan. She also asks me this Gabbar Singh also dance and laugh like Pawan Kalyan ??

• She loves the way how Lion sleeps on his side and on his back.
• And whenever she hears some one snoring either in house (my father snores while sleeping) she comes to me and asks me to turn my father side so that he stops snoring. :) :)
