<p>If your little one is one of those children in love with the great outdoors and wrinkles his nose up at suggestions to sit tight and read a book, this might just be the way to get him to start his journey into the world of stories.</p>.<p>Meant for kids aged four and above, ‘The Mighty Annapurna’, is a richly illustrated picture book that tells the story of a father and a son who undertake an expedition to the Annapurna base camp in Nepal. Narrated in an easy-breezy style and without any pretensions of grandeur, the story takes the little reader along with a father who loves the mountains and his son who accompanies him, on a lark. On the way, the little boy learns patience, gets a sense of how majestic the Himalayas are and learns to tackle his fears as well. Written by Rohan Raman, an entrepreneur and a “newly minted children’s author” as he calls himself, the story is inspired by the author’s recent trip to the base camp.</p>.<p>The illustrations are clean and to the point and the book is gorgeously produced. The text could do with some tighter editing; there are also a few minor errors, which could perhaps be corrected in future editions. That said, the picture book makes for a great bedtime read for restless brats and provides an opportunity to introduce the child to that flighty temptress called adventure.</p>
