When young Ruskin boards the Lucknow Express with his grandparents, their parrot Popeye, a tiger cub named Timothy, and a peanut-loving squirrel, he has no idea what’s in store. Just as things settle down, an uninvited guest―long, slithery and very well fed―slips out of the tiffin-basket!
Animals on the Train is a laugh-out-loud tale of family, animal antics, and the chaos of travelling together. Full of charm, humour, and Ruskin Bond’s unique storytelling, it’s the perfect chapter book for young readers stepping into his magical world.
