Booktopia Comments: A sturdy hardcover book that is about the same size as an A4 piece of paper but in the landscape layout, not vertical. A strong and powerful message that can be read to young children or for children already reading to start taking care of our planet. Great gift for kids from parents and grandparents who have a global conscience and want to instill that in their kids too.

You have spoiled my world. You must go and tell the grownups to change the way they are living.

Ten years ago, John Burningham set a standard of fun in his classic environmental fable Hey! Get Off Our Train. In Whaddayamean, he returns to this theme, imagining God taking a tour of planet Earth in the company of two young children. Finding dirty water, foul air, forests chopped down and burned, and people going hungry, God sends the children off on a mission to persuade the grownups to change their ways.

Whimsical, touching, and luminously illustrated, Whaddayamean is John Burningham's vision of a better world, seen with the eyes of childhood.
