If Only We Could Hear or Speak Animalese

I recently read Animalese by Ram Ramakrishnan and I found it quite engaging!

Have you ever wondered why the little bird is singing or why the squirrel in chattering? How about when your dog is barking and you don't see anything, and you say "what is it, boy" only to have the pup turn to you with a quizzical look that conveys, "Why don't you understand?" Wouldn't it be wonderful to know with certainty what animals are saying when they speak to us?

Wordwinder has taken this idea and has written an enchanting fantasy that will tweak your imagination and have you looking across the room at your kitty and wondering what is she really thinking about your new sweater.

"A story that methodically yet delightfully shatters the egotistic human notions of superiority over all other beings and the assumption that they are a force independent of Nature...the style and language of Animalese will surely appeal to readers of all ages."

C.V. Chandrasekhar, Retd., Head and Dean of the Faculty of Performing Arts of M S University of Baroda

“A good book is entertaining,
A great fiction injects reality,
Add a bit of fantasy,
Perfection!”

From the Cover

Deep within a remote forest in Central India, a village finds itself in disorder. As the humans and animals experience its ill effects, debris from a passing comet falls into the village lake, infusing its waters with a mysterious power that enables those who drink from it to communicate with other life forms.

Deciding to exploit this ability to set matters right within the village, the animals, along with the assistance of a village girl named Vennela, focus their efforts on the principal architect of their woes: local abattoir owner Ganju Hindolba.

Can Vennela and the animals possibly win against the like of a shady business owner?

Love it! Great read.

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

 

Thoughts from Cynthia V.

I am always searching for books that can be recommended to any age. It is imperative that we educate our children to read.

While this book certainly appeals to older readers like myself, it is also an excellent choice for the younger generation.

My highest recommendation for any age!

Rate it, if you dare...

"Someday, if dogs were to be the dominant race upon earth, perhaps we too would behave the same way that the humans do now - arrogant, insensitively, thoughtlessly, and imprudently."

Sylvestermouse's Opinion

I thought this was an excellent book! Thoroughly entertaining and enchanting.

I laughed with the animals, cried with the animals, cheered for the animals and joined their mission for fair treatment.

A Must Read!
