Jai and the Vegetable Superheroes by Rachna Chhabria (36 pages)
My Nest is The Best by Niyatee Sharma for 4-10 years. Sowmya has shared some lovely inside pages here in the kbc fb group. Excerpts from her review:
“Niyatee Sharma’s latest book is a tweet-astic non-fictional tale of our feathery friends.
The book introduces the nesting habits of various birds: a stitched nest, an edible nest, a tunnel nest and a floating nest are some of the fascinating types we learn about.
We learn about over 15 birds which have unique nest building patterns and techniques.
Whether it’s amazing woven basket nests of the Baya Weaver birds or floating nests of the Sarus crane, it was an eye-opening and enlightening read.
Niyatee Sharma’s deep dive into the world of ornithology is wonderfully brought to life by the realistic, watercolor artwork of Sushama Durve.
Each page has a crisp introduction to the bird’s nest set to a gentle rhyming scheme. A more detailed account of the bird and its habitat and nest follows. The illustrations are a visual delight and we could spend hours flipping through the vibrant illustrations.
Siddhanth really enjoyed learning about some of the unique nests and lovely illustrations. He was particularly amused that the Edible Nest Swiftlet used its own saliva to fortify its nest.
The icing on the cake was attending the book reading session and meeting the author, Niyatee Sharma herself!
Sid was awestruck because he has never met a “real-life author” before 
If your kiddo is a nature-lover or you would like to introduce a bit of nature non-fiction in the barrage of fiction, this book promises to make you as happy as a lark!”
All of Niyatee Sharma’s books can be found here.
