BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Animals are all over the boy's house, doing rude and crazy things like bouncing on his bed, using the toilet and making messes. He becoming more and more frustrated with them as he wants to go to bed, so, he calls a meeting. Turns out, it's the environment so it's our fault!
At first it felt like "The Cat in the Hat" with animals taking over and causing a big problem, but I've got to say, I loved the environmental connection. Great lyrical message, and whimsical illustrations make this a fun story that will be read and reread. It's very British, so be prepared to translate a bit: biscuits (cookies) bin (garbage pail) etc.
