Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

For this celebration of our Earth, distinguished anthologist Wendy Cooling has chosen poems to make children look, think, and ask questions. Why are trees so important? How are motorways damaging our countryside? What can we do about rubbish?What can we do to protect our Earth for the future? Strong, colourful illustrations combine to make this a gift book with a difference.

Excerpt provided by Syndetics

QuestionAs asphalt and concreteReplace bushes and trees,As highways and buildingsReplace marshes and woods,What will replaceThe song of the birds?Tony ChenDreamerI dreamt I was an oceanAnd no one polluted me.I dreamt I was a whaleAnd no hunters chased after me.I dreamt I was the airAnd nothing blackened me.I dreamt I was a streamAnd nobody poisoned me.I dreamt I was an elephantAnd nobody stole my ivory.I dreamt I was a rainforestAnd no one cut down my trees.I dreamt I painted a smileOn the face of the EarthFor all to see.Brian Moses Excerpted from All the Wild Wonders by Wendy Cooling, Piet Grobler All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
