A pretty heavy message about pollution and humans ability to wreck the Earth. I was surprised at the heavy content of this book, which I feel is not suitable for very young children. If you assume this is something like one of his other books like Polar Express you will be surprised and disappointed or maybe even angered. I found the book very depressing and too heavy for children who normally enjoy picture books.
