Fiction: special features; Pollution & threats to the environment; Animal stories (Children's&YA); Social issues: environment & green issues (Children's&YA)

This book consists of five stories about how our planet is not always treated with the respect and care it deserves and goes to explain what children can do to help save the planet. Children can read, in story form, how small changes to their daily routine, or changes to their usual behaviour, can have a positive effect on the planet. The stories cover issues currently affecting the sustainability of our planet such as what will happen to all our sea creatures should we continue to pollute our seas; lives lost or ruined and lands devastated by wildfires; the damage to health through breathing in toxic air; the antisocial, selfish and shocking practice of fly-tipping and the devastating effects of the disappearing snow and ice in the Arctic.

These animal stories show the adverse effects some of our unthinking routine actions and behaviours have on the animal kingdom but it follows that this also affects the whole of mankind wherever you live in the world. There is no safe place to hide. But the encouraging message here is that by changing some of our actions and behaviours, however small they are, this can have a very positive effect to our the planet.

The Planet Sweet is the third published children's book written by Linda Lawrence. Her previous books were called Adventures of Bob, Fin and Honeybun and Everyone Needs a Hero. Linda has been writing poetry and funny verses since she was seven years' old but it wasn't until she retired from a career in London that she began to write children's stories. Although she has published three books to date, she has still four more books including a sequel to Adventures of Bob Fin and Honeybun waiting to be published and who knows how many more books she will write in the future.
