This story encourages the reader to think about their impact on the planet. The brother and sister create their own tiny marine world in a bucket which represents the whole world. The illustrations help the readers to follow the sequence of what organisms are being talked about. The brother and sister are learning about the world around them by exploring in a small pond. The characters are relatable for the readers. The big idea of this story is that all humans are in control of what happens to our beautiful planet. Because the children realize if they put all the organisms together in a bucket, the bucket will get overcrowded and eventually none of the organisms could be seen or live comfortably. "She thought of all the creatures who lived under the sky, the animals who shared the warmth of the sun and bathed in the soft, silver light of the moon." After taking time to consider the diversity of animals on earth, a young girl visits a beach along with her brother. Together, they explore a wondrous tidal pool, filled with seaweed, small fish, sea anenomes, starfish. Unfortunately, it is not long before the children discover that the pool has been marred by a rusty tin can and a blob of oil. As the day at the seashore progresses, the youngsters fill a bucket with water, they add sand, pebbles, seaweed and shells before deciding to catch some tiny, live creatures. With their small sandpail marine habitat complete, the children revisit the rock pool and discover that it is no longer beautiful; the discarded, rusty can and the oil are all that remain. Startled at what they see, the children set about returning the sand, pebbles, seaweed, shells and fish to the pool. They remove the tin can and draw the oil out of the water using a seabird feather. Satisfied with the progress they've made, they decide to enlist the help of other children when checking the tidal pools the following day. Beautiful illustrations and "not-too-much text" make this a lovely read aloud for children aged four and up. This is a picture book that begs readers to discuss not only the story but also the illustrations as Foreman gently depicts deforestation, air pollution and the threat of global warming.

This is a modern parable about a brother and sister who spend their day playing on the beach by a rock pool. They create their own tiny marine world in a bucket, and with its wildlife, shells, oil, and even a tin can, it is a microcosm of the larger world outside. With a series of stunning watercolors, Michael Foreman makes clear his underlying concern about pollution within the environment, particularly on the seashore. The book's impact derives not only from Foreman's masterly skill as an artist, but also from the strength of his commitment to its theme. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
