Chanakya: Amar Chitra Katha - Review

This is the book my father bought .Amar Chitra Katha is always very interesting to read. I was very excited to read this because I have heard about Chanakya. When I read this book, I was very happy. Before we begin the story, I would love to ask a question? Do you know who is Chandragupta? If you do not know we will study about him in “history”

So, now we will dive into the story. About 2,500 years ago Alexander defeated many small disunited Indian kingdoms. In one of the lived a scholar named Chanakya. He was worried about Pupils. He thought that India must be united to defeat the foreigners and started working towards building strong empire.

Now, if you like history or not. You will love this book to know more about him and the empire read the

book.

GANGA: Amar Chitra Katha

This is a mythological book from Amar Chitra Katha. I love reading Amar Chitra Katha. Do you know about river Ganga mythological story? This book tells us about how Ganga river started flowing in earth. How by doing very difficult penance King Bhagiratha brought Ganga to the earth. It also tells us about different names of Ganga like Bhagirathi because Bhagiratha brought it, Jahnavi because Ganga came from Jahnu rishis ear, and many other interesting stories.

If you love to read about Mythological stories this one you will love reading.

Geronimo Stilton: Save The White Whale - Book Review

I read this book from our school library. This is very exciting story of Geronimo Stilton. In this book there are many characters like Thea Stilton, Petunia pretty paws, Benjamin, Bugsy Wugsy. This book talks about the story of how they saved whale from the pollution. It talks about how the river

and scenery was before when Geronimo was small and how much polluted it became now. It tells us how to save wild animals from pollution.

I liked this book. If you like Geronimo Series read this book.
