Boy And The Mountain: Royal Guide to Monster Slaying, Book 4

A story about a little boy who wants to draw the mountain he can see from his window. He attempts his sketch multiple times and from various angles. But he is never satisfied with the result. He even tries climbing the mountain but that too doesn’t help much. Until he finally realises what it was that he had been missing out on.The story is quite simplistic in its essence and yet teaches a lot about perspectives. It also helps kids realise that sometimes, we might miss out on the obvious that’s right next to us in the quest to search something farther in the distance. The book might also create an interest in exploring what’s outside the window rather than sticking to screens all day long. However, all these morals come out only on contemplation and the story doesn’t advocate any lesson directly. So it will work better if read with an adult.As the cover image suggests, the illustrations are adorable and suit the story aptly. The language is easy enough for beginner readers to read on their own.Overall, a very sweet book with a beautiful ending that kids are sure to love.3.75 stars from me.Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book at my request and these are my honest thoughts about it.
