A most excellent read for children and adults … with an even better bonus: Learn about Nepal along the way!

I love that this story is an eco-adventure set in Nepal. I’m betting that no other book combines a story about Nepal with an eco-friendly message.

Right from the start, I felt that I got to know the two brothers on an intimate level – their dialogue makes you smile and pulls you into getting to know them well. The animals of Nepal play a role throughout the story … readers won’t even realize how much new knowledge about Nepal they are absorbing as they read. Toward the end, I found myself reading as fast as I could to find out what happened … you too will become entrenched in the story and won’t want to stop reading … I can’t wait for the continuing adventures of the brothers!… (plus d'informations)

OK, the title stinks, but the writer knows her "stuff." My insides were always a mystery to me. I never paid much attention. They did their thing and I did mine. But inner mindfulness is needed when you travel to places that don't have the sewage control that we gringos are used to.

I now meditate on my bowels when I travel. They have learned to behave after reading the book and I respect them for it. The book shines a light on a dark subject. It is not pretty (the title suggests differently, but is wrong), but it is a subject that needs to be put on the table. Remember that and read carefully.… (plus d'informations)
