Navjyot rescues a near-to-death parrot and wins his trust. The parrot, Rangeela, has exceptional skills. He can speak and understand human speech. Instead of flying free, he chooses to live with Navjyot provided he promises to keep his talking skills a secret. Very soon they become the best of friends and have loads of fun, adventures, and sometimes, spats.

My Review

I chose to read these books after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

I’ve read several children’s book by Gita Reddy and they’ve gotten better and better over the years. The Rangeela Tales are adorable children’s stories about Navjyot and the parrot, Rangeela. For now, Rangeela is staying with Navjyot but he’s made it clear that he’s a free bird, not a pet. Oh, and Rangeela can carry on a conversation!

It’s obvious Rangeela really likes Navjyot because he stays in spite of Robber, the cat that belongs to Nimi, Navjyot’s cousin. Robber is determined to catch Rangeela.

Books one through three are Navjyot and Rangeela’s adventures. I like how they work together. Sometimes Navjyot rescues Rangeela and sometimes it’s the other way around. These are great stories for young children and will encourage them to use their imagination.
