Have you ever met a leopard And lived to tell the tale? Or been chased by a wild boar Up a steep forest trail? Has a python ever lived In the garden behind your home? Have you helped injured owls, Or saved a honeybees’ comb? ‘It is difficult not to love wilderness!’ Jyotsna laughs as she remembers the wild encounters in her many homes across India. With ‘The Jungle Book of Rhymes’ she introduces children to the wild in a fun, lyrical way.
