The Gopi Diaries: Coming Home by Sudha Murty is the first book in a trilogy for children.
This book is about a dog named Gopi and different scenarios in his life with the loving family that adopts him.
This was a quick read. And honestly, I found it too childish and boring. I guess that's what I get for reading a children's book as a teenager. I get why children might enjoy this book; it is written from a dog's POV which makes it all the more enjoyable for children. But it just didn't appeal to me.
Just one more thing I'd like to say here: I loved the illustrations in this book. They were absolutely gorgeous and their style was brilliant. Props to Sandhya Prabhat for that!
Overall, this was a 2-star read. It wasn't bad in any way, but I do think I would've loved it had I read it at a younger age.

A short read I recommend if you like animals. If you have 20 minutes I am sure you can complete it.

The Gopi Diaries: Coming Home is the first book in the series of three books for kids about a cute pup called Gopi. He gets his new home in Rohan's house. There, he meets Ajji and Tachi Ajii and Ajja... and cute little girls that adore him a lot. This small book is written from Gopi's perspective, and it was too amusing to read. I have no experience with dogs, or for that matter, with any pet. So, I don't know what it goes into taking care of animals. But needless to say, love and care are vital.
An amazing children's book to know about animal's feelings, especially if you are getting a pet for your kid. Also, some great learnings in an easy and paw-dorable way. If you are a parent, give it a shot. Read it to your kid. And did I mention the cute and colorful illustrations by Sandhya Prabhat? Too good to skip.
At the end of the book, I got to know that Gopi is a real-life pup in the Murthy family. So, the book is an account of Sudha Murthy's experiences with her dog, Gopi.
Looking for something fun, warm and short to read? Pick it up :) Especially if you love or have dog(s) Maybe, you will find it way more relatable.

This was a fun, simple, and heart-warming read about a dog named Gopi. Sudha Murty writes from the perspective of the dog, telling us about how he found his home and family with the Murtys.
I loved the colorful illustartions and Sudha Murty's simple writing style that touches the hearts of all readers. I look forward to the next book in the series. Even though this a children's book, it's nice to read all the same!
Sudha Murty often writes about incidents that have happened to her in real life, and this book is no different. She actually has a dog named Gopi, and this is the story of how he found home!
