10 reviews for Water-Babies

  1. Meghraj Chakraborty

    While the story had its moments, the heavy moralizing felt a bit much. Still, a classic worth exploring for its historical context.

  2. Abhishek Soni

    I was drawn to the fantastic world-building and characters. It’s a bit slow-paced at times, but I enjoyed the journey

  3. Vishnuvardhan Veeravijaybabu Pinjala

    A whimsical tale, but the Victorian language can be a bit dense for modern kids. Still, a charming story with beautiful imagery. I enjoyed the nostalgic journey.

  4. Sufiyan Adam

    My daughter loved the water-baby Tom! Some parts were slow, but the overall message about kindness and redemption is valuable.

  5. Gaurav Chawla

    A bit long-winded, but the underlying message is beautiful. The descriptions of the underwater world are simply magical and creative.

  6. Mahak

    An old-fashioned classic that may not appeal to all modern children. Still, the story is creative and memorable.

  7. Srishti Rao

    The language was hard for my -year-old to follow without help. The story is sweet, but be prepared to explain some archaic terms.

  8. Rahul Choudhary

    A delightful classic! My grandchildren were captivated by the adventures. A must-read for any child’s library. Some themes are outdated.

  9. Raveesh

    I found it preachy at times, but the underwater world is so imaginative. A good read for sparking conversation with kids about morality.

  10. Medapureddi Tejo Sheshadri

    Absolutely enchanting! ‘Water-Babies’ is a timeless story that will captivate readers of all ages. I loved reliving my childhood with this book!
