4. What Happened Then... Edited by Navin Menon (98pagrs)

What happened then...? These three words set the pace for weaving that magical feeling of wonder, mystery, surprise, contentment, which is associated with storytime—that wonderfully warm, assuring time-capsule that children look forward to sharing with parents, grandparents and siblings!

In this collection we have clubbed four stories that evoke that sense of wonder and excitement in the child readers and listeners, coaxing them to ask the perennial question: "What happened then...?" A chick gets lost... A hoopoe confronts a migrating visitor... A barber has a 'close shave'... A baby worm wriggles out of home despite his Mom saying, "No!" What happened then...? A hilarious four-in-one treat put together for little ones.
