When Thangwang loses his little red toy, Bhalluka tries to help through playful conversation and silly actions, leading to a surprising burp that brings the toy back. The happy ending turns into laughter, singing, and sleep. The book also adds an educational section on bears in India, their types, favorite foods, typical behavior toward humans, and winter hibernation.","Thangwang and Bhalluka Mala Kumar  \nJithin Jacob  \nBaby Thangwang  \nlikes to talk.”GAA! GEE! GLUG GLUG,” he says. Bhalluka, the brown bear likes to talk too. ”GRRRR. GROOOOOWWWW. KHURRR.” Baby Thangwang and Bhalluka the bear like to talk to each other.  \nOne day, Thangwang lost his little red toy. He began to cry.  \n”Don’t cry please,” said Bhalluka!”HA-HOO, HOO-HA! GRR-GROO!” Bhalluka’s tummy went in and out when he talked. Thangwang looked at the tummy and tapped it. TAP-TAPTAP. TAPP! THUPP!  \nThat made Bhalluka burp. Loudly! BURP BURPPPPPP! And out came many things that he had put into his mouth.  \nOOPS! Out came the little red top. TONGG! It hit Thangwang on the head. TIDDINGGGG! It fell near Baby Thangwang’s little feet.  \nBaby Thangwang and Bhalluka the bear began to laugh. They were so happy that they began to sing loudly.”GLUG-GRRR GAAGAA-KHURR KHURR, GLUG-GRRR, GAA-GAAKHURR khurr” ... and then they went to sleep.(Thangwang slept for a night. Bhalluka slept for five months!)  \nWhat Do We Know About Bears? In India, there are three kinds of bears: The Himalayan Black Bear, The Brown Bear and The Sloth Bear. The bear in this book looks like a brown bear. Bears like fresh growing shoots of grass . They also like fruits like apples, peaches and mulberries. Though brown bears do kill goats and other animals, they usually do not attack human beings. During winter in cold places, bears in the wild do not get  \nenough to eat. What do they do then? They just go to sleep for a very long time! This long sleep is called hibernation. They can sleep without eating, drinking or-even going to the bathroom-for more than 10 0d ays!  \nBrought to you by  \nLet’s Read is a program of The Asia Foundation that supports early reading skills and habits to develop our next generation of critical thinkers and creative innovators in Asia and the Pacific.  \nTo read more books like this and get further information,  \nvisit: [letsreadasia.org](letsreadasia.org)  \nOriginal Story  \nThangwang and Bhalluka.
