What if there are plants in outer space? What if there are wizards living among us? What if there exists a world under the sea? What if animals communicate with one another about the issues they face, write letters about them, it is a smart donkey reads and comments on them? Intrigued? Then read Aristotle’s mailbag, the latest offering in the Bookworm Collection from The Hindu Young World. Columnist Kala Sambasivan imagines a world where animals write letters to Aristotle, a wise and opinionated donkey. They write about the things they are around them – the behavior of other animals, the destruction caused by humans, life in the jungle – in a funny thought provoking way. The book is a compilation of 58 articles that appeared in the column of the same name and published in The Hindu Young World between 2011 and 2015. This book is accompanied with illustrations by The Hindu’s designer K. G. Ranganathan. Enjoy the ‘letters’ and Aristotle’s snarky replies; laugh, giggle and smile, and more important, ponder over them.
