Customer Reviews

An unique "Earth Day" tale with unique characters!

I first came across this remarkable book in a local library and it took me through a grand tour of a mythical town inhabited by a peaceful harmony of both human beings and anthropomorphic animals alike and their own adventures in such a wonderful utopian-like land. Then this idyll little world would be suddenly shattered by the establishment of a air pollution-spewing factory that would poison the sweet, clean air and sicken the innocent children living nearby. So both humans and animals join forces to protest the factory's ill-doing and then devise schemes to retard its works and finally to destroy the entire factory although. A brave new saga filled with flights of fancy, humorous snits, and the great love of literature, rustic nature, and the value of a good home and strong friendship especially between human and human-like animal characters, though it may be a bit cartoonish and irrational in some parts. Overall, quite a unique yet largely unknown work of literary with detailed black-and-white pencil illustrations tossed in. And I'm now a proud owner of this wonderful book to top it off!
