Avocado the turtle by Kiara Shankar is a pretty book for childrens. This book depicts story with captivating colourful pictures. This book is nicely written by the author. Avocado is a turtle. She is different from others. So the community of turtle don't take her as their friend. She feels bad about it but later she has made her friends who can understand her well. It's an inspirational story as it can be related to reality of life. In our life, we change according to situation and make our place there. This book has beautifully written and represented with colourful pictures inside. This can be a nice gift for kids. A very short read for me. Nice work by the author. Simple language used. Title and cover are beautiful. Overall enjoyed reading. My rating-4/5
