Thing: What Shall We Build Our Bridge With?, Gebunden

Klappentext

What if we had to leave Earth - and build a bridge to a brand-new planet?

Earth is sick. One night, Nani and Nunu imagine what would happen if everyone had to pack up and move somewhere else. But a new planet is so far away. How would anyone get there?

"Easy!" they decide. "We'll build a bridge and drive right over!"

There's just one problem. What do you build a bridge that long out of?

Trees? Then the forest animals lose their homes, and the clean air goes with them. Rocks and soil? Then the creatures underground lose theirs, and nothing can grow. Ice from the poles? It is already melting.

So the children think again - and land on something Earth has far too much of already.

Winner of the 1st Lia Books Picture Book Competition, this is a bedtime game that turns into a funny, gentle conversation about the planet, and ends with the discovery that Earth is not a place to leave but a home worth keeping.

Ages 4-8. 40 pages. Full-color illustrations throughout. A read-aloud for Earth Day, recycling lessons, and bedtime alike. Written and illustrated by Thing.
