Customer Reviews

A delightful read for 3 to 10 and maybe beyond...

Some adults are no fun. This book isn't about NASA or evolution: it's a flight of fantasy for children. What if adults actually listened to children, who unlike us, at age 5 or 6 or so can see right to the point with questions like "Why don't we stop the war?" or "Why do we keep polluting the ocean?" We all know in our hearts that making a mess of God's creation is not a noble thing, so why do we continue to do it? Good discussion starter -- and if your child wants to know about evolution, get another book!
