Puppies are cute but our dear Spotz is a rockstar. The author surely imbibed all the necessary skills and qualities in him to make him a mascot of good behaviour and information. The mascot introduces several behavioural trails to the kids, be it at school, outside, in a restaurant or playground. Spotz is always cool to be around with his quirky jokes. I especially liked the segment of the mission mars and moon. The space launch, how moon can be a pad to refuel and how we can colonize mars, where the kids are telling they came for a visit from earth. How earth being a tiny speck in the milky way. All this was very informative along with cute illustrations which will surely awe the kids and drive their creative juices. A good read for kids till the age age of 8 years or more. Looking forward to read the authors other creative works soon.

BOOK REVIEW BOOK - "A Thousand Miles to Freedom" AUTHOR - " Eunsun Kim " Genre - " Biography, Autobiography " I must confess that it's been a while that some book has influenced me and captivated me. My last such read was " Goat days " by Benyamin. Both books are of the same genre. But the way they touched my heart is fulfilling. This is the story of the author " Eunsun Kim " and her escape from North Korea with her family. The circumstances under which they fled the country is deplorable and hard to fathom. Few of us are familiar with the Israel's- Gods own people journey to the land of Milk and honey led my Moses through the blistering arid desert of Arabia. The journey of the author is not less daunting. Freedom is within grabs and one can even see it but it took them 9 years to achieve it. After several failed attempts and traps set on the treaded path, unforgettable memories and batteling both human and nature alike, the family's resolve to live is nothing short of a miracle. This book made me realise what a privileged life I'm leading. Not that I complain but one must count their blessings when they still can. Moreover, in a world where we are bombarded with movies and books on holocaust, Afganistan atrocities and the bloody wars, North Korea is a country which slightly escaped the big brothers eyes. Apart from few documentaries of the capital city of North Korea " Pyongyang" , one seldom can only assume the lifestyle of it's people. Also, very lucky few escape the shackles of the dynastic draconian dictatorship and live to tell the tale. This is one such voice which never believed that it would be heard but is still fighting it's way to free it's people from the lifelong bondage and to garner support for freedom which is so take for granted. Do comment to discuss about the book and let me know what do you think about the book after you read it.

Book review Book - " Pride and Prejudice " Author - " Jane Austen " Genre - " Fiction, Satire, Social Drama " After finishing this read, I can truly comprehend the novel's immense and enduring popularity. Written in 1813, this novel and the characters portrayed, the social conditions are as relevant and apt as they were back in time. The character sketch of of the protagonists showcases the subtlety and refinement of Austen's writing. This is the story of Benet family - Mr.Benet, Mrs. Benet and their 5 daughters. Overpowered with the social anxiety of getting her daughters married, Mrs. Benet conjures every plan to get her daughters married. From attending balls to social etiquettes.Though her husband was indifferent and lost in his own world impervious to his wife's social conduct, he was easy going. Their daughters from descending order of their age - Jane , Elizabeth, Mary, lydia and Kitty. Each had their own personality and the author was successful in portraying a picture of their personalities and outlook towards life. The title comes into fore with the entrance of young men - Mr. Bingley, Mr.Darcy, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Charles. Though each man's follies and their backstories, Jane Austen is effective in conveying the satire of the social milieu, of class distinctions and of her characters pride and prejudice. The descprition of the manors, the large estates, the walk in the lawns and their elaborate dinners is described vividly. One cannot help but fall in love with the England landscape and culture with all its inhibitions. This book made me blush and palpitated with the characters reveal underneath their hard exterior. My favourite in this book is no doubt Mr.Darcy on whom I had a good impression irrespective of how the author tried to clamaflouge his true nature. A beautiful classic which was replesent of the society of the time and it's people. I can dare say little has changed with the pride and prejudice of the people they hold in their mind and hearts till date. I guess one should truly not judge anyone and moreover because of few unfortunate incidents as one can't truly conceive what occurs in the mind of the other. Don't think twice to pick this beauty even if you are apprehensive to pick classics. It's an easy read.
