Footnotes throughout and a final epilogue offer helpful scientific explanations and practical solutions. The reader is left understanding the gravity of the situation without being led into dispair. Polo is an attractive, inspiring character who can be introduced as a messenger from various voices about the current world emergency. - Amazon 5 star review A fantastically accessible way to help children to understand climate change. A FINALIST and highly recommended. - The Wishing Shelf Book Awards Aimed at secondary school students but should be required reading for politicians and decision makers at every level. Charming characterisations and great drawing introduce the myriad of oft unrecognised ways in which we are contributing to the climate chaos we face. Just wish we could make it required reading! - Amazon 5 star review Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & great characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children's educational global warming movie, a classroom presentation, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. An extremely easy rating of 5 stars. - Amazon 5 star review The comic book speaks about the problems that arise after deforestation, erosion, habitat loss, and more. This is definitely a good story for children because, along with the adventure and fun, it brings awareness to young readers about climate change. - Readers Favorite I particularly liked the touches of humor that helped the story bury itself in your memory. It is informative for a very broad age range. I enjoyed reading it, so did my children, and it had all of us wanting to explore the issues of climate change even more. - Amazon 5 star review I find the books, and I have gone on to read others, as difficult to put down, and I warmed to the characters. Love the style of drawing, and that the message is not in-your-face. A great book for ages, funny, and highly recommended. - Amazon 5 star review It is quite amazing the amount of information that is told without getting boring or confusing. It has good rhythm and balance, it is very entertaining. I really love the style of the drawings. They are so efficient, so expressive, light, with a great flow. - Amazon 5 star review
