This is a thought provoking children's book with beautiful, detailed illustrations on the theme of saving the planet. The text is cleverly written in rhyme. The book is 76 pages and so is suited to older children, from about age 10 onwards. The book has 5 stories. The first is centred around Gary the fish and deals with pollution in the sea. The message is clear.... Don't litter in the sea. The second story is about fire and how it impacts animals like Gonny Squirrel. The message from this story is that we must all do what we can, however shall the effort. The third story is about Ted, the bear and is entitled 'So, the teddy bears can have their picnic'. He wants everyone to think of 3 things they can do to help towards saving the planet. If everyone did this, imagine the impact! The fourth story is told by Colin the fly and Asha to not leave our rubbish under trees. We need to throw it in a bin and recycle where possible. The fifth and last story is about cute Sarah Seal and the disappearing ice. She is motherless, but adopted by a polar bear. The book delivers a very serious message, but its theme is we must not despair, there is still hope if we make an effort to save the planet. We can all work towards reducing emissions, recycling and reducing energy usage. The book is both educational and entertaining. It stresses that we all need to take responsibility for our planet and every little action and effort matter.
