I liked how Mr. Ghosh had a family of white mice . And how funny uncle ken put him on the wrong train. I also liked how Mr. Ghosh talks. And also how the white mice went into uncle Ken's pyjamas because it is very funny.

[Omkar Joshi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Being an ardent Bond fan for more than a decade, I'm quite disappointed with this pocket read :(.
Nothing, from humor to innocence, worth remembering!

Another nice little fun story by Mr. Bond. Our little mischievous Rusty, his little bit more mischievous grandpa, 'scatterbrained' uncle Ken, a crazy stationmaster, and some cute furry nuisances, leave us with smiling happily. The book is perfect for kids (and, of course, for Ruskin Bond's children-at-heart fans). Priya Kuriyan has illustrated the story with her awesome colourful sketches. Kids are sure to have fun on seeing these pictures while reading the story.
