Our team is disappointed to find litter impeding their plans of a relaxing day at the beach. They clean it up and soon others join in. That's a great story of taking responsibility for fixing problems you see.

However, that's not the theme the book focuses on. Instead, it's about "caring for the environment" , which some people strangely don't care about when it's obvious that trash on the beach is a nuisance. The conclusion is that together we can "save the earth". Neither of these quoted concepts are explained in this book, and I wonder what they mean to kids, but if they are values you want to teach your children, then this is an okay book for it.

Rather boring for adults and art that doesn't appeal to me, but maybe cool for young truck-lovers.

Really cute with an important message. You can never get enough children's books about caring for the environment as it's becoming more and more of an issue these days.

I salute John Cena for his contribution to saving the planet.
