Chip, Chirp, Hoot: The Sound of Nature and Other Stories

Have you been to a place where rivers sing songs? Have you climbed to the top of a mountain and heard the whispering pines? Have you tried to decode the hidden messages in bird calls? As Kanika and Ashok take a trip to the lush green jungles of Dandeli in Karnataka, they chance upon the Malabar pied hornbill, the hill mynah, the magpie robin, and many other birds. Up in the north, Kanika hears the ‘sounds of silence’ while hiking up the Dainkund Peak in Dalhousie. Karan, Tara, and their friends are camping in the Nilgiri Hills. They trek, collect wildflowers, do rock climbing, and listen to the sounds of nature. Never a dull moment there! This collection of charming tales will sensitize young readers towards our environment and help them appreciate nature. A must-read for those who love and cherish our beautiful world.
