Ethan loves pancakes
before he goes fishing. His mother explains to him how animals,
plants and people combine to give him the pancakes he loves, and he
leaves to go fishing feeling thankful for his world. However, wanting
to make a big splash in the lake where he fishes, he throws in an oil
can and things begin to go dreadfully wrong.
Children,
particularly three to five-year-olds, should enjoy this book, although
children as old as nine may like it. The pictures are colorful and
the story is easy to understand. It is also easy to read for the
older children.
My only
disappointment with the book is that the solution presented to the
problem of pollution is simplistic and unrealistic. Parents or
teachers should be ready to talk with the children about the problem
of cleaning up pollution and how it is not an easy process.
I received this book
from PR by the Book for this review.
