I read this book after Animal Farm by Orwell and it's a delight. Highlights the emotional side of humans and well ad Poonachi whose a goat. Beware, the book undoubtedly is not meant for kids just cause it's a story of an animal. The simplicity in the authors writing is what won my heart.
Once in a village, there was a goat. No one knew where she was born. The birth of an ordinary life never leaves a trace, doesn't it?
