Reader reviews

“I absolutely loved this book! Saanvi did an outstanding job with the way she explained everything! Her writing was clear, engaging, and perfectly suited for young children. My Kindergarten daughter was captivated from the very first page, and she kept asking to read it together again and again. The story sparked her curiosity and made learning feel like fun. It's not often that a book manages to be both entertaining and educational, but this one truly was. I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a wonderful reading experience to share with their kids.”

“When I read the book description, I was interested because I wanted to see how these scientific processes were explained to young kids, and Saanvi certainly nailed it! The storytelling was wonderfully age-appropriate and kept my young ones engaged from start to finish. Saanvi's approach made the concepts easy to understand, and my kids were excited to learn more with every page.”

“The first time I read the book with both the kids - my 1st grader and preschooler - they were instantly hooked and truly enjoyed the experience. They eagerly searched for all the colorful characters throughout the pages, and when they realized they missed one at the end, they excitedly went back to hunt for the last one together! The book has become a favorite in our home - they've already read it five times! Not only was it entertaining, but it was also informative, igniting their curiosity in science and making learning an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this book for families looking to combine fun and education in their reading time.”
