Reviews on Amazon from those who ordered Flidgywumper Saves the Seas

A Book with an Important Message and More!
As an environmental educator, plastic pollution is not a new concern for me and I think that part of the solution is getting the message out there to youngsters, especially. This cute book does just that without a lot of doom and gloom, instead offering solutions and encouraging community involvement. Loved the bright, vivid illustrations and the simple prose is perfect for young learners, especially with rhyming that was used.
I'd definitely recommend reading this engaging book.

Critical Issue in a charming presentation

We hear there is an enormously large island of plastics in the Pacific Ocean, yet this gets very little attention ! Are we going to continue with this ? Well no, not at all, not if our young children and our grown up adults get a hold of this book and read it together!  Once the importance of this issue of plastics dawns on us after an immersion into this beautiful book, then all of us, both younger and older will get a grip and get going ! So buy a few copies and spread this book around !
review by Sara Shannon author of Good Health in a Toxic World ( Warner Books 1991 )

It's a fun way to share an important and essential undertanding
Very well written and illustrated story that children and adults alike will enjoy and hopefully learn a much-needed awareness and practice...William H.

EXCELLENT - Clear, with things to do

Beautiful graphics, clear message, not negative or despairing. Explains the problems and some solutions! I run an environmental organization and know the science and can say this book has it right....C, Woods

Saving the creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans

This is a vety colorfull picture book to help teach children how we could save the creeks, rivers, lakes, and oceans from pollution. We have all witnessed plastic garbage floating in the waterways and wondered what could be done to turn our habits around to make a difference. It's a complicated matter, but not unattainable to have clean oceans for the future generations. I like the hope this author gives in the story and in her efforts in life to support a cleaner world.,,,Customer

An important environmental message in a charming format

Flidgywumper Saves the Seas is a bright and colorful book with a timely message. Written in poetry, the author and illustrator create a captivating world beneath the water full of imaginary characters desperate to save their home and the planet.,,,R.Lane

An interesting way to involve kids!

What an entertaining way to introduce young children to this very real environmental problem! An interesting follow up activity would be to help kids search the web for possible solutions and ways to get involved.,,,Customer

 

Perfect

As a person concerned about the deterioration of our environment and especially with the vast amounts of single use plastic waste being generated every day, I bought this book and found it to be an inspiring and delightful way to introduce children to the problems associated with plastic pollution. It was creatively written, fun to read, with imaginative characters and illustrations and, in a positive way, demonstrates that solutions can be had when we work together.,,,WD,McClam

My grandchildren love this book!

What an awesome story with cute illustrations!!! It is never too early to start teaching children about our ocean and how we need to take care of it. A great read for children and a great reminder for adults to recycle their plastics. I love the little green fish who wants to make the world a better place. :)...Customer
