An early chapter book, an allegory for ages 6-12, empowering children to live a simple life in balance with nature. First in a series. 112 pages, 40+ illustrations. An art book full of word-play. "There's trouble in dirty ol' Tintown. Nature has vamoosed and mean Mrs. Misrington is getting richer by the minute. She loves the racket of cars zoomin', taxis tootin', trucks roarin', and the smell of smokestacks smokin' because they all mean that business is boomin'. Now Mrs. M has gotten it into her behived head to cut down the last patch of trees in town to make way for her crowning glory a big-box store right at the end of Broken Bottle Lane. But something is brewing and it's not just the compost. Can three recycling rats stop Mrs. Misrington and lead Tintown back to a saner, cleaner life before the whole place goes up in smoke?"

Aus dem Klappentext

Oli, Wilbur and Tom are dirty and delightful little eco rats with a great story to share. Three Green Rats is a captivating story that reminds us that we are nature, not separate from it. --David Suzuki Foundation, Vancouver, British Columbia As in the classic Charlotte's Web, the authors use creatures from the animal kingdom to show the way. With simplicity and charm, they tell how three green rats lead their hometown away from greed for too much stuff to the fullness of a simple life that respects the earth. --John Adams, Founding Director, The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), New York, New York "This delightful story cleverly examines the importance of community and stewardship of the earth's resources. It's a terrific addition to the growing list of children's books on the role of ecology, the environment, and sustainability!" --DeDe Small, associate professor of literacy and children's literature, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa With tongue firmly in cheek, the authors weave a cautionary tale that prepares children to inherit this earth. Doses of wit, engaging characters (some good, some wickedly bad!), and whimsical illustrations ensure these wise lessons won't hurt going down. --David P. Saar, Artistic Director, Childsplay, Tempe, Arizona I love this book! It's funny, charming, and the illustrations are incredible all the makings of a hit. It teaches the values our children need in order to deal with climate change, and it does so in a quirky, upbeat tone. A great teaching device for ages 6-12.--Suzanne Jeanette Lapierre, grade 5 teacher, Lord Tennyson Elementary School, Vancouver, British Columbia
