Review: A Perfect Start for Beginners and Children - I recently bought this book and found the flow to be incredibly natural. The plot is very clear and easy to understand, even for a beginner. Ruskin Bond uses simple vocabularies, which makes this story perfectly suitable for children also. The characters and the timeline are perfectly portrayed, and I loved that the book includes beautiful black-and-white sketches of the scenes. If you are just starting to read English books, this is definitely the best book to begin!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful story 👍🏻💕❤️‍🩹
*by A***R on 21 March 2025*

The Blue Umbrella by Ruskin Bond is a heartwarming story set in a small village in India. It follows Binya, a young girl who trades her lucky leopard-claw pendant for a beautiful blue umbrella. The umbrella becomes her prized possession, and the villagers admire and envy it. Ram Bharosa, an old shopkeeper, grows jealous of Binya's umbrella and desperately wants it for himself. He tries to acquire it through dishonest means, leading to a series of events that teach both him and Binya valuable lessons about kindness, generosity, and forgiveness. The story highlights themes of greed, innocence, and the power of compassion. In the end, Binya shows maturity by giving Ram Bharosa the umbrella, and he, in turn, realizes his mistake. The book is a simple yet profound tale about human nature and morality.
