Honestly, for a short flight, Animals in the House by Ruskin Bond was the perfect companion. The language is easy, a short story and every chapter brings an instant smile. Ruskin Bond really knows how to make kids happy… and adults too! ✨ What the book is about The story opens in classic Bond style — gentle, nostalgic, and instantly comforting. (And you all know how much I adore anything written by Ruskin Bond!) He shares memories of his childhood in India, where instead of siblings, he grew up with the most unusual set of pets: • A friendly monkey • A calm old tortoise • A silently gliding python • And a magnificent Great Indian Hornbill who treated the house like its own playground And the highlight? His grandfather — the ultimate animal lover — brought home every creature he found fascinating. His grandmother protested every single time, but eventually this chaotic, adorable mini-zoo became a part of their family life. ✨ Why Vihaan loved reading it on the flight It’s small, light, and super interesting — just what you need on a quick trip from Bangalore to Mumbai. Each chapter feels like a tiny adventure. Vihaan read one story, looked out the window, read another… and before we knew it, the flight had already landed! The book keeps kids engaged without overwhelming them, making it the perfect boredom-buster and imagination-sparkler mid-air. Highly recommend! ✨📚
