"Thomas' upbeat message is that children can help rescue their planet through 23 hands-on projects...While the book was originally published in the UK, the appended list of Internet resources in the American edition includes websites by U.S. agencies and organizations. A good book for raising environmental awareness in DIY-minded kids."
