Review

"Ever wonder how to turn your parents green? Well, author James Russell set out to answer just that question, and in a most entertaining manner too, I might add. Meet the Greens and the Groans.... The Greens being kids who get the problem of global warming and the general environmental mess we're in while the Groans (their parents) are busy causing most of the trouble without a world of care or an inch of interest in solving the problem." - Kenny Luna "A great combination of fun and education for kids." www.ecolibris.net "Kids will revel in the opportunity to challenge their parents" New Consumer "Empowering kids to let them know they can have control." The Spark, Bristol "A whimsical pocket book with a serious message." Venue magazine, Bristol"

1.0 out of 5 stars Hands Off My Children !!, 13 Aug 2008
Please read the following quote from George Orwell's '1984', which perfectly sums up the mindset of the authors of this dangerous piece of propaganda.

`Children....were turned into ungovernable little savages, yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the Party... it was all a sort of glorious game to them. All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State... thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over 30 to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which The Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak - "child hero" was the phrase generally used - had overheard some compromising remark and denounced his parents to the Thought Police.'

This is exactly what Greens are trying to do to our kids - turn them into nasty little Maoist Cultural Revolutionary-style Red Guards. Don't kid yourselves it is not that sinister - it is!

This book is dangerous trash and should be laughed at, if its implications were not so shocking. One star - because it burns quite well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely!!!!, 25 Nov 2007
An interesting, thought provoking, witty, informative, quirky, comprehensive, highly entertaining, book that tackles the serious issue of getting grown ups (groans) to 'go green'.

This book is pleasantly digestible (wonderfully illustrated and presented) considering the seriousness of the underlying issue and also likely to be impactful. It's got me thinking.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Give us a child for the first seven years and he is ours forever.", 24 Sep 2008
By J. Stock (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Further proof that environmental doomsaying is the new secular religion of the age.

Alarmingly, some councils have started to recruit kids - "Street Scene Champions" they call them - to patrol for "enviro-crimes" and rat on the people they think responsible for it.

Greenies who approve of this book should contemplate how many trees would be saved if it were to be recycled.

Read it? May I recommend "Can I recycle my granny?" by Ethan Greenhart. Read this back to back with Russell's work and see if you can detect which one's a parody. Most people I know couldn't.
