Woof! Adventures by the Sea by Aparna Karthikeyan : Book review
My interview with an author
The cover page for ‘Woof’ is adorable. It reminds me of my dog Coco. Both the dogs on the cover look very silly and funny! I love how Shingmo is drooling. Anyone who loves pets will definitely pick this book up. The cover design is absolutely fantastic and heartwarming.
This is a delightful story about a group of dogs who stumble upon a mysterious package at the beach. The curious dogs are shocked and surprised to see a puppy wriggling out of it. At first, they are all skeptical about what to do with the puppy. All these stray dogs grew up alone and met later in life so they all decide to take care of this puppy (Shingmo). One lucky day, Shingmo meets Puchu, a dog who has a human family. This day changes Shingmo’s life forever.
This story is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. This book shows the readers about how much hardship the street dogs go through and how they still stick together no matter what.
After reading this book, you will look at all the street dogs with kind eyes. It is love that they expect and nothing more. And also, the most important message is to adopt dogs and not to buy them from breeders.
The story is written in a very simple yet captivating manner. The author helps us understand the world through the eyes of street dogs. This fascinating tale is sure to keep you hooked. This book appeals to all ages. I wish everyone from 7 to 70 reads this book and starts being kinder to animals around. Then this world will become a better place.
Star Rating : 5 out of 5.
