Education Otherwise Magazine - December 2007

This is a book with a very serious message. It is a useful introduction to climate change for younger children. It shows how they can be part of the solution. Flip and Flap, Waddle, Splash and Littlest are a group of young penguins. They soon discover that the world is changing because of us humans. They notice the ice is melting. The wonderful artwork transports the reader to the cold antarctic and then back to civilisation to discover what the environmental problems and solutions are. Old Wise, an adult penguin is confident that the humans will save the planet. The text is clear and very suitable for early readers. The book is unusual in that some of the words use different fonts to reflect the meaning. This is very useful for visualisation of the word. There is a detailed section at the end, which explains the problems in detail and gives lots of useful contacts.

London Cyclist Magazine - December/January 07/08

Flip and Flap, Waddle, Splash and Littlest are penguins who discover humans are at risk of ruining the world. It’s left to their teacher, Old Wise, to explain that humans are clever and caring beings, and that - when they work together - they can make amazing things happen. The book encourages kids to take positive, direct action in the fight against climate change.

Statements from the cover of the book:

"A delightfully illustrated book which explains simply the issue of climate change
and how children can be part of the solution.”  WWF-UK

"A beautifully composed and illustrated book that will inspire children and adults alike. A real example of how to explore what it means to be an active Global Citizen." Oxfam

"This beautifully illustrated book uses well-loved familiar creatures to convey a complicated and difficult message. We are leaving children with the legacy of a carbon-constrained world, this book will help their understanding of the issues and hopefully, also get adults thinking about ways of reducing their impact on the environment and the penguins.”  Sustrans

“This book informs children of the great threat facing the planet, but more importantly it shows that together we have the ability to confront that threat and overcome it. Dealing with such a serious and potentially frightening issue in such a positive and empowering way is an impressive achievement.”  Greenpeace

“Original and delightful.”  Friends of The Earth

"This is an engaging book that introduces young children (and probably some older readers too) to the complex issues associated with climate change in an enchanting, accessible way. Most importantly, it has a hopeful, upbeat ending with plenty of ideas for realistic individual actions." The Wildlife Trusts

“A magical book that will inspire both children and parents to help stop climate chaos.” I Count
