• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is an eBook version of the print book Viku and the Elephant. In this story a boy, Viku, and a young elephant named Haatee become friends in a forest in India. Haatee communicates with only two sounds a happy trumpet or a sad cry but Viku and Haatee understand each other perfectly. The story of their adventures together unfolds quickly. In this story ivory poachers take Viku hostage and force him to show them where elephant tusks are hidden in the jungle. The poachers threaten to kill Haatee if Viku doesn't help them. Although frightened, Viku and Haatee manage to outsmart the ivory poachers with an ingenious plan. This little gem of a story grew out of a fable the author used to tell his own children when they were small. They would ask to hear it over and over again. Now the story is here for all children to enjoy.

This eBook has more features than the print version: there is a list of words to learn; discussion questions; many Pop-Up texts to explain new concepts; and photographs from India to make the book an enjoyable learning experience for children. This book works well as a read-aloud story for young children, suitable for early readers (2nd and 3rd grades) and excellent for 4th and 5th graders who are ready for chapter books.

Autorenporträt

Born in India, Debu Majumdar received a doctorate degree in physics from SUNY at Stony Brook. While spending his professional career as a physicist, he maintained an interest in writing throughout and, after settling in the Rocky Mountain West, he began publishing stories and essays about life as he observed and experienced it.

His first book, From the Ganges to the Snake River, a creative non-fiction, interweaves Indian culture with north-west American reality. His four children's books (Viku and the Elephant series), set in village India, explore universal themes such as friendship, perseverance, preservation, and bullying. Sacred Rivera Himalayan Journey, his first novel, written from a background of India's ancient heritage describes a daring gold heist from a temple in the Himalayas with romance, history, and spirituality. Night Jasmine Tree, his second novel, is the hidden backstory of an Indian man's immigration to the U.S.a story of rebellion against conservative caste barriers, romance, sacrifice, loss, and final reconciliation that overcomes innate human obstacles. He is currently working on retelling the Hindu epic, The Ramayana.

Dr. Majumdar and his wife live in Bellingham, WA.
