Welcome to our third book club hangout. This time around we have Lubaina Bandukwala and Venita Coelho! As always we bring you a very interesting and fun discussion and this time we have a treat for you!

We introduce animal sounds and faces to our kids very early on and we tend to pick up books that are all about cuteÂ animals! So we thought why not ask our book enthusiasts for recommendations of animal themed books that kids will love.

Our guest Venita Coelho reveals whyÂ she chose to write about animals when she wrote Tiger by the Tail followed by her bestseller Dead as a Dodo.Â Her books are all about respecting animal species and learning to coexist.Â At this hangout we also spoke about when kids need to understand the importance of respecting animals. Here is a hint. It is never too early!

Author Coelho also gave us some super book suggestions. We discussed The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate.
