The Disappearing Beach and Other Nature Stories
Book Details
Can a smelly monster threaten a town? Or tiny creatures organise a river clean-up? Polythene bags, glass bottles, and paper sheets need to be recycled and a homesick mudskipper tells stories about his mangrove home! Sounds incredible, doesn’t it? And that’s not all…
Ramu, the fisher boy, misses his vanished beach, Rina’s trying hard to find out where all that sand comes from, Rahul’s head is exploding with questions about volcanoes, while Mina’s looking for ideas to celebrate World Environment Day!
Can anyone help these kids?
