About the Book:
Shrav’s Lockdown Adventures is a collection of six short
stories written by Shravmusings. The stories are based during the lockdown
because of Corona Virus when everyone was at home. The stories are a mix of fiction
and reality. The main protagonist is
Shravnath . Each story revolves around him.
Why did I read this book?
I picked up this book to read because I have a four-year-old
son and he too doesn’t understand the meaning of lockdown and why is he not
able to go out and play or meet his friends. Although we have tried to explain
to him about COVID19 but still I feel he is too young to understand. I read all
the stories to him and he really enjoyed listening to them.
My review:
I loved the fact that
all stories are based on early education for children and there is a small message
at the end of each story. As a mother of a preschooler, I could completely
relate to Shravnath’s mother because my son is very inquisitive too and he
loves to explore everything around him. My son was not aware of Meteors and
telescope. After reading the story, it was very easy for me to explain to my
son their meanings. My favorite story is the Buddy or Monster? story because today’s generation has very easy access to technology. Children do not
realize its cons. It is very important for them to understand that even though
it has a lot of benefits, it has its disadvantages too. After each story, my
son and I had very interesting discussions and I am glad that he was able to
understand the message of each story. My son’s favorite story is Shrav and
UFO.
The language of the book is simple and clear. I loved the
cover of the book too. It is bright and colorful which all children love. This book is appropriate for children four years and above.
