#2019 #YearInBooks Book 55
The language is simple enough for children to understand while reading or being read to, and it is engaging as well. The adventure is interesting, kind of like a treasure hunt with one clue leading to another. In a way, one of the events even reflects Kali Yuga.
I like the illustrations in the book too. If they were a bit bigger, it could have doubled up as a colouring book for kids (it still could, but I think the lines are too small for colouring in, tbh). I also think that the naming might have been a little more consistent. But these are minor things.
The story is around 80 pages including illustrations and in large print. It's a one hour read for me, although children may take more time I guess. I wish it had been a longer book because it had a promising adventure in it, but it's a good debut nonetheless. Definitely worth a read. 4★.

It is a beautiful story of princess Vaishali that your kids will love.
As the title suggests it’s about Vaishali’s quest for Knowledge. Will she be successful in gaining knowledge from Gurukul where Girls are not allowed? When God will guide her to fulfill her desires?.
.
The plot of the story is simple and interesting. The author keeps the reader hooked from the very first page. The narration is simple and gripping. The way the events were sequenced are commendable. I talks about the Vishnu avatars. This book has so many lessons to teach to the kids. The author conveyed a strong message through her writing. The writing style of the author is gripping and upto the point.
It’s a quick and light read that kids will enjoy.

🌼I love when it comes to children's book and I am so happy to add this book to my collection. This is a story of a small princess, 'Princess Vaishali' who sets on an adventure to find secret and find a way to gain the knowledge which was prohibited. This was such a lovely short read but more of all it was so impactful.
.
It started with a normal pace and it was really descriptive, I am a person who reads many children's books but this one was really well sorted in terms of what it wanted to portray/convey to the readers. It's not at a hard or a bulky read, a short simple fairy tale filled with excitement and anticipation, this book is sure to bring all the bright childhood memories back. I will definitely recommend it to everyone, even adults.

Who else still loves to read books meant for Children?
If you do, then today's book review will surely interests you.
I loved reading this book. Although it is meant for kids, but still it has a strong story line and a message. It is a story about princess Vaishali, who is hungry for knowledge and exposure. Since she was denied for the admission in the gurukul, she herself goes for a personal quest for learning and knowledge and end up turning herself into a squirrel.Will she ever be back as a princess again? What all adventures she would face during this journey...
Starting with the cover, it is super cute as well as relevant.
The writing and narration is simple and smooth, perfect for kids. Language used is easy. It is a great book to introduce kids to mythology fictions. On page X, author explains all the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu known as 'Dashaavataar'. I think it is a nice book for kids. It is a quick read. Kids will find the book engaging ans simple.

A Princess's Quest of Knowledge
By Soumya Torvi.
First of all, I would like to thank sma review for this opportunity and for making me relive my childhood days.
The story of this book is perfect for children, as the language of this book is extremely simple and easy.
In todays era children are all intrigued by mobiles and forget everything as technologies has taken over their minds. We really need books like these to give a knowledge about Indian mythology.
Though this book is a mixture of mythology and a story, it will make it even more interesting for children to read or you can read for them.
I have a nephew though, he is small and I still read him this story.
The author has done amazing job by writing this story. She did well by explaining the Dashavtaar of Lord Vishnu.
The cover of the book is not just interesting, but really cute though. The author gave a very strong message through this book.
P.S. In today's era, we need books like these for children to keep them hooked, not just with books but with indian mythology as well.

The cover of the book is simple and the title perfectly matches the storyline. The theme of the book is perfect for the children and the narration is very smooth. The writing style is simple but at times certain words may make it difficult for the kids to understand the meaning. The book is a perfect mix of mythology and adventure. The author has made an effort to explain the avatars of Vishnu and other words mythological words which is a plus point. The message given in the book is that of a princess's yearn for knowledge and her efforts to fulfill that yearn which should leave a positive impact on a kid's mind regarding education. In short, it's a perfect quick read for a kid with simple language and a good plot.
