Admittedly feel a little dirty giving a rating on the lower end to a children's book. Nonetheless, I think there could have been a bit more to it. Maybe it's just a sign that I'm too grown up :D

I read it and gave it to my 4-year-old nephew as a gift. It's a lovely book for children to learn from an early age about their role in the world and in nature and how we can improve everything if we commit to it, if we only think about our actions and their consequences. The illustrations are beautiful. My nephew may be a little too young to read it himself, but his mom loved it as well and she hopes he will ask her to read it to him over and over again. I think he's set on the right path already.
