Product Description

Product Description

George is determined to save the world by lunchtime, but he's not quite sure how. Grandpa suggests they start by recycling the yoghurt pot from his breakfast, putting his banana peel in the compost pile, and hanging the washing to dry in the sun. A bike trip to the recycling bank, charity shop and local farmers' market show how recycling and re-using materials, and using less petrol and local produce can really help save the world. George even gets a favourite toy fixed!


From the Back Cover

"Today I'm going to save the world by lunchtime!" George tells Grandpa one morning. And with a little help from Grandpa he does.

Join him as he saves electricity, recycles rubbish, repairs his toys and visits the farmers market. Children everywhere will be delighted to discover how their everyday actions can affect the world around them.

"From the tem that brought us The world Came to my Place and inspired by the Eden project in Cornwall"

5.0 out of 5 stars Every small child should have a copy of this book and then their attitudes as adults will really be saving the world., 6 Sep 2008
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This book is such a valuable contribution to an at-home or school bookshelf that I am amazed it doesn't already have a page of great reviews already. It's bright and lively to look at, following a little boy and his Grandpa, and at the same time it introduces clearly and cleverly the ideas of recycling etc. to small children and explaining why it is important.
George is a typical little boy dressed in cape and pants playing at saving the world in a superhero-esque way. But Grandpa is older and wiser and explains a different way to save the planet - and the ways that a small child really can change the world which involves not just recycling and repairing, but eating a locally-produced strawberry tart and hidden treasures in the local charity shop.
Published in 2006, it seems even more timely in 2008 as world fuel prices have rocketed, carrier bags are increasingly reusable and the economic downturn tightens belts across the country. We borrowed this first from the library but despite the credit crunch this is one book we will definitely be splashing out on!
