Question

The Pterodactyl’s Egg by Annie Besant write summary 120 to 150 words​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pterodactyl’s Egg by Annie Besant is a book about a Pterodactyl egg which Sam discovers on the playground and takes home. Little does he expect it to hatch, and what follows is not for the faint hearted!

Sam with his glass bottle bottom like spectacles is an adorable child. Along with Priya, his sister, he somehow manages to convince his mother to let him keep the ‘creature’ for a few days while his father is away on work. The dinosaur grows at an incredible pace and is soon flying. Meanwhile the evil scientist, Dr. Poongothai aka Dr. Pox is fuming in her lair which she has priced away from a tribe— she wants the egg back no matter what. She sends BENO, an agent to recover the creature from Sam and his family.

The tinge of sarcasm and humour to the whole story makes what seems like a straightforward stereotypical plot line interesting. One can easily guess what’s going to happen next, and that’s exactly what happens. But still, there is something charming about resurrecting the dinosaur.

Sam and Priya are your everyday adorable children. Sam in particular is endearing. He tries to toilet train Biscuit (the Pterodactyl) and teach it to do dog tricks. Dr. Pox is built up as this evil scientist and till the end lives up to the billing. She has people killed for not obeying her orders, she terrorizes everyone who comes before and Bio-Engineers soldiers. BENO, who is sent to recover the egg is one of those soldiers, but manages to find a little bit of humanity which was left in her.
