Hello ma'am. I read your book, Snow and Salt Water & Other Animal Stories. The book constantly reminded me to learn to coexist and sympathise with the other animals. ' Someday Mother Nature will give humans a taste of their own medicine' is a line I'd take home from this work. I gained a new perspective and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. Thank you for this incredible piece, ma'am.
A wonderful book apt for young minds. This book in fact has the ability to lighten the mood of adults as well. The key factor of attraction for me in this book was the way in which the animal’s perspective on humans is portrayed.

Hello mam. I would like to say thank for the amazing book "Snow and Salt Water and other Animal Stories." The story deals with Animals, habitations and their views about human. The readers can able to notice the pain of animals through the author's writing. The choice of words is simple and pleasing. We have lot of works based on fables. For eg: George Orwell's "Animal Farm"where he used to focus on political condition of the society through animals.But this book is completely different where author tries to put forth the sufferings of animals and the human behavior. According to my perspective Author strongly portrays that this world is not only for humans but also for the other living creatures too.Pushpa kurup's way of approaching and detail explanation about several animal and their origins makes the novel more interesting. More over it's in a conversational tone. This book also gives several information about places. while reading this book reader can feel the impact. I have few questions Mam, what made you to write this book? and Did you feel any difficulties on choosing animal characters instead of human? And finally This book is must needed one for the current situation, people should try to attempt the book. So, that it is easy to travel along. Such a important message conveyed in a compact and elegant form!

Hello ma'am. Firstly, I wish to appreciate your efforts to incorporate immense factual pieces of evidence of the animal kingdom. I enjoyed reading the book from the animal's perspective, which brought out truthful evidence that man and nature are interconnected and interdependent in the circle of life. Also, the plot was interwoven with such craftsmanship that it didn't project an abrupt ending. The plot also surfaces many hidden meanings that enlightened me to get the true scenario of the world I live in. So I would say that this book created an environment of factual learning with fun. Thank you ma'am for your efforts taken to bring out such a wonderful piece of writing.
Hello mam, hope all good!! I took this book only because of my assignment but I didn't knew it was such an amazing book!! Really feeling happy and I'm impressed by the characters and the conversation between the animals... It is such an inventive work mam.. thanks alot for introducing such a creative work!!
Hi mam! I started reading this book only because of my assignment.when i opened it to read,i was very much impressed by your saying that,If animals could speak, mankind would weep. Once i saw this line..I wanted to read this book.This book is really a great work and I loved it.I always love reading fantasies and children literature.when i was a child,I always used to think that why animals are not talking and what will they talk?if they can.Thank you so much for writing this book mam.
Hii ma'am! I read this book recently and it was very amazing. I was so impressed by the detailed descriptions of the wild animals like Bacterian Camels, Wild Bears, Cheetahs, Tortoise, Elephants, Porcupines and Zebra. But by knowing their struggles in their life made me worried. The inhuman activities of the human beings like hunting, caging the animals and destroying the forest are clearly portrayed in the animal's voice. The story has been carried in different compartments and a conversation between animals, that too a Mother and her Children. The Mother tells her curious Children about their lifestyle, habitat, adaptations and also about the history of the particular places like Mongolia, Vietnam, China, Savannahs, Dzanga Sangha Bai etc, which also helps the readers to know various details. Overall I appreciate the writer's extra ordinary work.. Que to the author: What are all the measures you to took to gather these minute informations ma'am? I would be happy if I get a reply. Thankyou!
Hey ma'am! I just read the book last night, Got the Kindle version of it and firstly I would say that it is so different from what I thought. Being a literature student I've read a lot of books but never a book that portrays the world and mind of animals. It was cute to read. Cause I personally love animals and I loved this book so much ma'am .
1. What inspired you to write this book?
2. Have you always had a thought in your mind about how animals would think about us? And that's what made you write this book?
Would be happy if I get a reply from you. Overall I enjoyed reading this book so much ma'am. Thanks!
Hi Ma'am, I read this book and found it to be interesting. The stories have been able to impart information and capture the attention as well.
Here is the review of the book
Snow and Salt Water and Other Animal Stories by Pushpa Kurup, is an ingenious work, presenting facts within stories. Writing from the perspective of the animal world, Kurup's book presents how humans are viewed, presenting a dichotomous image of man. Capturing the attention of children and others alike, Kurup has been successful in writing about the harmony that has to be maintained between man and nature.
Presenting the stories of various animals like camels, bears, cheetahs, tortoise and so on, the playful and witty tone has done it's work. The story is written as a conversation taking place between animals, were their plight and situation is explained, along with other facts such as their habitat, other relative species, food, situations with regard to human impact and so on By posing humans as caretakers and destroyers, the author calls for an act of change to conserve and preserve the animal species.
