creative tasks. The stunning illustrations by Stu McLellan create a magical world which will stimulate children’s

endangered by pollution: activities to stimulate imagination, social interaction, confidence and wellbeing. The
attitudes and actions of our children towards the world they are inheriting is crucial if we are to make a
difference and maintain our ecosystem. So… Inspire—Create—Enjoy!
