My Review
Poly trap is the story of Wiley, the sea horse who goes out to explore the world around him with his mummy. They start playing the ‘I Spy’ game wherein they say simple and short riddles about the sea animals around them. They see starfish, octopus, turtle, crab and a mysterious thing that looks like a jelly fish. What is the thing? Why is it considered a trap? How can we prevent it? The book Polytrap gives us the answers.
The book is very informative. Though it targets kids who are 9 years and above, younger kids also can enjoy the book and be benefited. The book creates awareness and urges the kids to lead an environment friendly life. The book is very colourful and attracts the kids. The story is narrated in such a way that the whole concept stays in the kids’ mind.
The illustrations are the major highlight of the book. Niramoy Ganguly has done a fantastic job. The blue colour theme goes hand in hand with the story. The game I spy can played with our kids at home.
Verdict: A refreshing environmental tale that’s stays in the kids’ mind
