Product Description

Readers of all ages will delight in this earthy and wildly fun children's tale that has a big message on the importance of environmental awareness. Moving, vast, and refreshingly candid, Planet Earth Gets Well by new author Madeline Kaplan helps young readers think proactively about their environment and pinpoints how to initiate meaningful change in order to make Planet Earth a healthier place. When Planet Earth gets the sniffles, Mother Nature challenges each of us to retract our gluttonous ways. She instructs the Planet Earth to take better care of himself which means all humans must make big changes about key issues like global warming, the melting of polar ice caps, deforestation and energy depletion. Once Planet Earth sneezes, Mother Nature listens and helps each and every one of us learn how to be good to our dear, old friend. This educational reader is wholly unique in the ways that matter-think globally, think green, and act accordingly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delilghtful, June 5, 2008

By	Janet T (New York) - See all my reviews

Finally, a delightful, colorful children's book that addresses some of the ills that are facing our planet today. This book with page turning and upbeat illustrations defines some of the challenges to our planet and the need to be "green". Written in simple language that a child can understand, it also explains some of the ways that the child can be part of the solutions. They feel important and happy that they can contribute to resolving the problem. All the children that I have shared this book with, request it be read to them over and over again! They love the story and the pictures!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cleaning up our world, May 21, 2008

By	Patricia G. Saunders "pats1403" (Kyle, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Planet Earth Gets Well This is a refreshing take on how to help our world survive the harm that we humans continue to inflict on it. Kids will like the voice of the main character, a young Planet Earth with fever and sniffles. Appealing and educational without being stuffy, Mother Nature and the rest of the charming cast help round out the message that we can all do our part to clean up the environment.
