 Fabulous Book January 5, 2009
Our 3'rd grade son loves this book, especially with the hand puppet. It is one of a very few that he willingly reads aloud. The story provides an environmental twist to a familiar story.

I purchased this book three weeks ago for my two older grandchildren - ages 5 and 3. After reading it, I re-ordered it for my 2 year old grandson and another copy for a friend's pre school children. I am a retired pre school teacher ( with a degree in literature) and was in charge of the school library selections. This book is on target with the current global situation - a great way to get children involved in their future. I showed the book to several of my teacher friends and they were impressed.

This is a fun little book that puts a new twist on teaching kids how to care for the environment. It reiterates that they are our future, and the decisions they make can change the world.
 A decent idea by a so-so story. December 29, 2007

This was a Christmas present for my daughter.br /br /Basically, Christmas is on it's way and Santa gets hit with a dew drop on the nose. He investigates and finds the North Pole is melting. He checks the ice caps and finds they are melting. Santa then decides to find out why and becomes interested in CO2 emissions. He then goes about visiting the children to get them interested in solving the problem.br /br /The author stated she set out to offer a tool to not scare children. But the story is a little weak and not written well as my daughter seems not to interested in it. Especially when there are things like a lady in pink blow snow and doves and I couldn't explain who she was.br /br /Then there is the blasphemy that Santa would wear a green suit as he works towards educating the world of this problem. My girl says Santa only wears Red! br /br /There are some suggestions for kids can do such as using reusable lunch packing versus the throw away, recycling, planting trees, etc. However, the schools and the girl scouts are giving these out anyway.br /br /One thing to note is the author is donating some of the proceeds to charities that help the environment.br /br /It's an ok book that could have been better.br /br /
