There is no doubt that Sandhya Rao captures kids imaginations so brilliantly with her simple stories. Yet another classic! (Read our review here on My Mothers sari by Rao)
The story is extremely simple with a baby snail who is playing in the garden and how the ants crawl all over him and with a thunder the meticulous ants disappear warning Sunu to return to his mom. The fun kicks in with the  loud clap of thunder – Gadaam! Gudoom! , The flash of lightning - Zzak! Zzak! , The falling rain – Sittasitta! Pittapitta!, The trees sway – Shay! Shay! The children love the sound effects ofcourse if they are well read by the parents. A great visual delight by Ashok Rajagopalan.
This is a must have book in your child’s library. We absolutely love the way the storm has been dramatized and how beautifully sunu goes back to the secure surroundings of his mom. A classic tale that has the potential to be an all time favourite!
This book is also available in: Hindi, Marathi, Gujrati, Tamil, Telugu, Malyalam, Kannada
