I purchased this book for the kindergarten class that I've adopted and ultimately I chose not to even send the book. It seemed to emphasize a lot about a "Climate Control Machine" that was made with ice cubes and what you SHOULDN'T do - rather than what you should. Yes, of course it was meant to be funny - but I just think the children would remember this dumb "machine" rather than ideas that can truly help the planet.
In the end, I didn't think it was the best book at all for children this small. A book that I absolutely LOVED about Earth Day, however, was " I Love Our Earth" by Bill Martin, Jr. The teacher and children loved it too!

My 5 year old brought this home from kindergarten. It "informs" children that watching television and driving are contributing to polar ice caps melting, which, in turn, is killing polar bears.
My jaw just about hit the floor when I read it. What utter garbage. Man-made global warming has proven to be a fraud, and teaching a 5 year old that his television habits kill polar bears is nothing short of vile.
I'm all for teaching my kids about conservation and taking good care of their environment, but the propaganda in this book is downright disgusting. I am glad, however, that it gave me the opportunity to discuss the Medieval warming period that global warming cultists dishonestly omit when trying to prove that driving cars destroys the planet. We also discussed the Ice Age and how some adults tell children lies in order to further their own ends.

Again, I love all Little Critter books. This is a new one so I had to have it. My sons really remembered this book, because they remember to turn out lights now and refer to the book and it's message about simple things we can do to help save the earth:)
