review 1: I didn't care for the illustrations. I thought it was too chaotic with the pictures jammed on a page with the words written in between. If this was being read to a group of children I don't believe the text would have been easy to view. We use our books in the classroom to show them letters and words as a whole. In this book the words are very tiny or pushed too close together. Then I am not sure but there is a whole back page on recycling, I guess as a meaning to keeping the earth green. Is this book about not actually riding in all these things that pollute the air? I don't think they would have got the message and as a teacher I didn't feel it enough to be able to have that conversation with them.
review 2: Conceptually, this book is fantastic. In re... moreality, though, it falls flat and lacks coherence. It's colorful and engaging and the last pages save it from being a total disappointment. The ecological theme is good and reading that the illustrations were made from recycled material was interesting. I couldn't read the rhymes in the fold out section without humming a bit of Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" to myself (see the trivia questions to see what I mean.) That probably dates me, but it made me smile. Our girls weren't impressed. less
