His grandfather was responsible for all this wildlife, and their home in Dehra became a centre of action and laughter as a variety of creatures were brought home—the furry, feathered, fierce and friendly—all under one roof. Bursting with delightful illustrations, this chapter book features endearing characters and hilarious episodes, making it a perfect introduction to the wonderful world of Ruskin Bond! https://www.penguin.co.in/book/animals-in-the-house-a-short-story-in-the-popular-puffin-chapter-book-series-by-ruskin-bond-illustrated-bedtime-tales-animal-stories-for-kids ER -
