How The Cobra Got Its Spectacles (Hb) - Hardback is a charming adventure about a young naga who teams with an old hermit to recover a friend's stolen spectacles, set along a vibrant riverbank. This nature-filled tale is perfect for curious children ages 4–8 who love animals, friendship, and gentle mischief, and it carries a warm, adventurous, and comforting tone that invites readers to see the world with wonder.
Written in warm, lyrical prose, the tale follows the naga as he tracks the spectacles through lush jungle scents and river sounds, meeting woodland creatures who share their own perspectives. The experience is enhanced by inviting, full-color illustrations that bring every leaf, glowworm, and rustle to life. With a gentle pace and repeat-reading appeal, the book invites children to savor the journey as much as the destination.
