9780143428817: Animals on the Train

Synopsis

One train ride. Too many animals. Zero rules! When young Ruskin boards the Lucknow Express with his grandparents, their parrot Popeye, a tiger cub named Timothy, and a peanut-loving squirrel, it becomes a journey full of unexpected adventures. And just when things seem under control, a certain uninvited guest—long, slithery and very well fed—emerges from the tiffin basket! Set in the hills and railways of a gentler time, Animals on the Train is a laugh-out-loud tale of family bond, animal antics, and the chaos that follows when they all travel together. Packed with charm, humour, and Ruskin Bond’s unique storytelling, this is a perfect chapter book for young readers discovering his magical world for the first time.
