#Review: Eliza and the Talking Animals

Values are important, empathy being one of the core values required in the present world. While it is true that children imbibe values and virtues from their environment, it is equally right to say that reading helps them understand certain abstract concepts better. The Life Skills series by Penguin serves that purpose.

Empathy is like a bridge, a guiding compass, that connects the children with the feelings and emotions of others. Once they understand the emotions well, it becomes easier for them to navigate relationships with care through the maze of emotions. Eliza and the Talking Animals is one such book where Bleata’s connection with this little girl named Eliza establishes that empathy can dis(solve) any crack in a relationship. It’s a patch that covers the tear. It’s a channel that opens doors to a better understanding.

With beautiful and quality pictures, this book offers a sweet story about adapting to new situations and finding empathetic friends. The language is easy and the font is comfortable. Go for this series, for it might become the absolute favourite of your child!
