This is a book for children in the age group 5+ years. There are stories of animals and toys, girls and boys. There’s fun and mischief, and lots to think about too.

The title story is about a royal couple that visits the biggest showroom in their kingdom to buy a toy for their little princess.
In other stories you'll meet Lizzie - a lizard that wants to change her name to Lavender; Rose - a little tribal girl who feels sad that a leopard has been killed; Susan who doesn't know how to play; and animals aplenty in the story of a city that they took over for a day to show their human friends how to make it pollution-free!

Every age and time needs its own stories; and these are stories specially for OUR times. That is why the series is called 'Children's Stories for Our Times.' This book is the first volume in this series. You may also like Vol. 2, which is about many girls and boys who could be your friends: the naughtiest boy in class, an absent-minded girl, two young friends who turn temporary enemies over a school debate, and many more such people you could well feel you know!

[Note: Vol. 1 and 2 in the series 'Children's Stories for Our Times' were previously published in a single paperback volume, available on pothi.com ]
