The great Mor Khan is coming from the city to choose actors for his new film. The birds of the jungle are in a flutter. How do they bag a role? The smart city crow steps in to help – and also settle scores with Vulture. In this zippy take on filmdom, the bird-loving author cleverly casts actual bird species and builds the story around their looks. Rich visuals and zany text combine realism with a dash of comedy and a splash of over-the-top movie magic.

A must read
With filmdom as its backdrop, the author wittingly casts actual bird species and builds the story around their looks and characteristics. Without stating facts as in a fact book, she cleverly uses dialogue to bring these out as in, Knock on wood, knock on wood!, exclaimed White Bellied Woodpecker or Let’s ask Jungle Crow. He has cousins all over the city. Youngindiabooks.com
