Ruskin Bond Angry River

About Book:

One of the most famous books of the author, Angry River is a classic, enriched with drama, beauty, adventure, and poignancy. The novel narrates the story of a young girl, Sita, who resides on a small island with her grandparents. The island is idyllic, ensconced in greenery and immense natural beauty. The trio lives in a small thatched hut.

The book commences with Sita's grandmother falling severely ill and her fisherman grandfather leaving the island along with her on a boat as she needs to be taken to the hospital. Sita is left on her own with the promise that her folks will return in a few days. Her grandfather also warns her of an impending thunderstorm and instructs her that if the water level rises to cover the entire island, she must seek refuge atop the peepal tree. Soon, as foretold, it begins to rain heavily. When Sita looks outside, she notes the rising level of the raging river. So she quickly packs a few important things in her trunk but forgets her favorite doll, Mamta. She ascends the tree and waits for the storm to abate, but the water level only keeps rising. She is about to abandon all hope when a young boy in a boat rescues her. He introduces himself as Krishna and offers her mangoes to eat.

Sita later learns that her grandmother has passed away and is reunited with her grandfather. The two return to the island to rebuild their hut and start their lives anew. This edition of Angry River was published by Rupa Co. in 2012 and is available in paperback.

Such a cute book to read with little ones. I loved all the rhyming words and the twist at the end that no one saw coming. My preschool students give this book a big thumbs up.

Good Reading
Format: Paperback
The third book we chose to read for our summer reading program was Not That Pet! I am a nanny of a six-year-old girl going into first grade. It’s fun seeing a child’s eyes light up when a book or story engages their imagination. This story was another hit. This was an entertaining read! This is a rhyming read-aloud story that had us both giggling from the beginning of the story to the end. The main character, Mabel, is allowed to pick the family pet. She is determined to find the perfect pet. Her choices had us groaning, ‘oh nooo’ while shaking our heads and laughing out loud. We couldn’t read fast enough to see Mabel’s next choice. Her final decision was unpredictable. We couldn’t believe the final choice was a…. well, you’ll just have to read the story yourself to find out. The illustrations themselves had us smirking. We took the time to really look at the pages and discovered small details that really added to the enjoyment of the story. We read this story several times which is an indicator that this book is a keeper. Enjoy reading Summer 2023! originally posted at long and short reviews
