This Christmas themed book explains why it's important to take care of our environment and what we can do to help. The book also explains climate change, greenhouse gases, the atmosphere, global warming... different to most Christmas books. I like that Santa's sleigh is solar powered. - Amazon 5 star review A well written book about a very important issue...perfect for children to learn about taking care of our environment. Not only does this teach about climate change, but also to never give up and be persistent. I highly recommend this book, and love the explanation of the blue words. - Amazon 5 star review I'm going to give this book to my 10 year old daughter. The story is funny and entertaining, and I think it's a good way to introduce the concept of climate change to children. I really like Alan's style of comic art, its not too cute and not too serious. - Amazon 5 star review Great book, reinforcing that even one small change will make a difference. It's good, there are a few surprises in it, I find it funny that Santa throws a tantrum, yet it has an important message. - Amazon 5 star review
