Nourishing fare for budding eco-activists.<br>--Booklist Online <p/>A funny read-aloud with a subtle conservational message.<br>--School Library Journal<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Duncan Beedie</b> is an author and illustrator with more than fourteen years' experience working in children's media.
