THE TROUBLE WITH DRAGONS

by Debi Gliori

Bloomsbury Children's Books, hardback, £10.99

Dragons multiply and spread 'all over the place', leaving in their wake a mess, with the forests chopped down, the sea levels rising and the atmosphere punctured with big holes. But the prospect of a world without wildlife prompts the dragons to heed the advice of the other animals to 'respect all Earth's creatures and cherish the land, recycle, reuse and reduce your demands'. Climate change, pollution, waste and the world's finite resources are all tackled in this engaging book that seeks to remind readers young (and old) of the beauty of the world and the urgent need to preserve it.
