Gugulu the Little Bear dares

 An Amazing Children's story

Summary

Go on a wild adventure with Gugulu, the sloth bear, as he takes on a
journey deep inside the western ghats of India.

Gugulu's parents won't allow him to go to school alone. But he can't
wait to explore the forest on his own. So one day, he runs ahead of
his parents. And before he knows it, he ends up in a river filled with
danger - first a roaring leopard, then a gang of gaurs, but soon he
shrinks in fear. 

Will naughty Gugulu be able to reunite with his parents?

Gugulu, The Little Bear Dares, is a quirky, funny, beautifully
illustrated story about new experiences and courageously facing
challenges when encountered

My Review

What an amazing beautiful children's story. And again I really liked
the layout and the way the author deepened out the characters.

I enjoyed it very much.

At the end there is a summary of all the characters Gugulu the bear
met during his trip.

I recommend this book to all parents who want to read for their children
or to children, who start reading.

Of course, I give a 5 star rating to Gugulu the little bear dares.

 This is an interesting reading!

My review

The book was intersting for me because I hardly know nothing about 

the politics of India's past, present and future.

As India will become (or is) an economical power to count with it's a 

must read for every one who wants to know more about this wonderful

country.

The author did his research very well, although it sometimes became a 

bit dry but writing about politics never is easy and perhaps it was a bit 

from a one side view. 

Thus I recommend this book to people who are interested in history
and the political situation of India.

I give a five star rating for this interesting -  and for me unknown 

matter- story. 

The author

His parents thought he was studying business administration in the USA.
He was actually studying journalism.

When he was a consultant for the Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital in Pune,
he told Rajshree Birla and Kumar Mangalam Birla their offices would
be in the Basement of the Hospital.

As an entrepreneur, Amit has been India’s No.1 Healthcare Consultant,
India’s No.1 Retail Consultant, and India’s No.1 Residential Real Estate
Consultant, apart from excelling in several other sectors.

As a Retail Consultant, he wrote prolifically for various retail publications.
For one article, he interviewed several industry leaders, including Kishore
Biyani, considered the father of modern retail in India. Little did poor
Mr. Biyani know that Amit would lambast him in the article. The next time
they ran into each other, Mr. Biyani told Amit that - being a fellow Marwari
- he should have been less critical of him.

World Book Day 2022

The original idea of World Book Day was conceived in 1922 by Spanish
writer Vicente Clavel Andrés as a way to honour the author
Miguel de Cervantes. It was first celebrated on 7 October 1926,
Cervantes' birthday, before being moved
to his death date, 23 April, in 1930.

The celebration continued to enjoy great popularity in Spain, especially
in Catalonia, where it coincides with the Diada de Sant Jordi, the patron
saint of Catalonia. The Diada usually involves the exchange of gifts
between loved ones and, since the 1931 Book Fair in Barcelona,
the gifts are a book and a rose.

In 1995, UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day
would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is also the anniversary of
the death of William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, as well
as that of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.

Spain

In Spain, Book Day began to be celebrated since 1926 every October 7,
the date that Miguel de Cervantes was believed to have been born. But,
it was considered more appropriate to celebrate this day in a more pleasant
season for walking and browsing the books in the open-air.

Spring was much better than fall. So in 1930 King Alfonso XIII
approved the change of celebration of the Book Day on April 23,
the supposed date of the death of Cervantes.
