Shrinking Vanita

Age range 8+Three days to go before a gigantic killer asteroid will end life on Earth! Everyone is in a panic. Everyone, that is, but Vanita, who has things to do. Such as saving the planet. She has a plan drawn up to the minutest detail. All pure science. With just a little help from fridge magnets, a little puppy - and a special 'shrinking' gift that she has. Columns, short stories, novels, plays, a long-running cartoon strip, Suki...Manjula Padmanabhan traverses all these genres with ease. For Tulika she has created three books with Pooni the cat, as well as four very popular picture puzzle books.
