- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great morale for kids
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Environmental rhetoric disguised as a children's book. Poorly rhymed. Awkward rhythm. Trying to sound Dr. Seuss-ish.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Save the politics and poor writing style for adults who can handle it.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a picture book all about dragons. It shows children what dragons are capable of from once they are born to when they are old!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book to get children to understand the concept of recylcing and how our earth could suffer the consiquences if we don't. It does so in a very cute way, with dragons playing the part of humans.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5With all of these dragons eating, shopping, spreading, fire breathing and then rebuilding, and their colorful bodies, this book would be perfect for a science lesson. This book can teach about global warming and protecting and caring for our planet. I love how the author uses dragons to attract the children and keep them interested, like there is a dragon gang making sure you reuse and recycle. Great book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good analogy for our Earth's gradual deterioration. Rhyming was somewhat inconsistent and words like puncture and chimed might not reach the intended audience (K-3). Cute animals soften the reality that soon certain species will be extinct.
