It’s time to introduce another series to my book club – the Gulgul series! I wonder if the book is targeted at slightly younger readers than my book clubbers, but the number of things we can do with Gulgul in Jungalu prompted me to select it.
Gulgul is mischievous, resourceful and friendly, the perfect protagonist of an adventure story. She must befriend not just elephant-like creatures, but also flippots, bluglugs and longfellows in order to help her mother Megha build a zingjuck that will shoot them into space where they will have phone coverage to call a spacecab!
Full of wacky words and even wackier animals, Gulgul in Jungalu promises to keep my book clubbers giggling as we read.
Space Travel
Imagine you’re travelling through space. What planet are you from? How do you travel? How old do you have to be to drive a space vehicle? What are your favourite picnic spots? The list of questions we can work with is endless! Let’s see what we can create together.
Wacky Animals
The cover of Gulgul in Jungalu reveals what looks like a hippo that can fly and an elephant with a very long trunk. We’ll let our imaginations go wild as one child describes the animal of their imagination and the others draw what they can based on the description. We’ll come up with new animals that no one has dreamed of!
Earth Calling Aliens!
What if an alien landed in your balcony? What would you show them? What would you want them to eat, see, smell or experience? If time permits, we’ll write a short piece about an encounter with an alien.
