Do not judge the book by it`s title, you have no idea what you will come to know after u finish reading this book.
I seriously never knew, animals were so interesting, there one particular story about a tiger, Ajooba which touched my heart. I have this book in my collection & I have presented this book to many people. Every chapter of this book is like knowledge, you learn about animals & you love them.
the author of this book have been phenomenal in choice of words, humor & editing off-cour...

I picked up this book, and almost fell in love with that !! great first hand experiences, described in a very adorable language !!!

And dam !! This is very inspiring !! i can't wait to jump to a forest , after reading !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book introduces u to a different world which exist around us all but most of us dont care and dont even know about it. Some of its chapters must be part of school curriculum.
It brings the reader closer to nature.

This book will interest even those who are not remotely interested in wildlife by its easy language and witty humour.

Its a book of anecdotes, which is told by through the eyes of Janaki,wife of Rom Whittaker who is the founder of Madras Snake Park. Witty, Engaging,informative and a lot of trivia. probably one of the better books I have read in recent times.

I was waiting for this book and it did not disappoint. I have been following her articles in the newspapers for quiet some time. Though I am not a big fan of reptiles, the short essays and the account of first hand experience is simply fantastic. Go for it.

It consists of short 1-2 page stories (mostly experiences of Janaki or Rom). Few of them are informative with interesting facts from the animal and reptilian world. Overall its a good read to spend some idle time. Although not as absorbing as that of James Herriot.
