Children love to explore the world around them. Introducing new ideas and new places to them, with the help of their pets, or characters from their imaginary or cartoon world, help them a lot. This story's protagonist is a cute rat, Ratoon, who with his near and dear ones travels and stays at various towns and cities of India. His experiences, feelings and emotions reflect any child's who learns to adapt herself or himself in newer situations. Family, friends and school form the main foundation of a child's life, hence the quality of life in such circumstances and social institutions is vitally important.The creative quest and thirst for inquisitive knowledge, should be aided by healthy interaction in the above mentioned social institutions. Constant channels of communication, both verbal and non- verbal, should be open between a child and the guiding adults. In today's hectic world, grandparents play a major role in nurturing children, this contribution of the older generation should be appreciated too.
