Watch Out!/Jakirathe! (English-Tamil)

Author : Shamim Padamsee
Illustrator : Ajanta Guhathakurta

When the lioness goes off to hunt, her cubs go off to play. But is the jungle safe for them? Inspired by the endangered Asiatic lion found in the Gir forest, Gujarat, this book follows the playful adventures of three curious lion cubs while their mother is away. Minimal text and lively illustrations with an edge of drama skilfully introduce young readers to the fact that those we see as predators can be under threat themselves.

Ground for discussion

The story can be a great tool to discuss with children that danger may be lurking around the corner, even though everything seems safe and beautiful. The book can also enable a teacher or caregiver to discuss the cycle of life and how the food chain works and perhaps also talk about the need to protect and conserve wildlife. A great addition to the collection of every wildlife enthusiast... Young India Books

Deceptively simple

An interesting introduction to wildlife, which can lead to talk on how the predator-prey chain and food chain in the wild works, and about animal habitats. Discussions about keeping safe from strangers when mama is not there... deceptive in its simplicity... there are layers that are discovered every time it is read. Goodbooks.in
