Planet SOS Summary

Planet SOS: 22 Modern Monsters Threatening Our Environment (and What You Can Do to Defeat Them!) by Marie G. Rohde

Our planet is sending out an SOS. From global warming to plastic pollution, real-life environmental monsters are threatening our world at every turn. Now it's your chance to challenge them!

Meet the habitat-harming monsters that are ruining the Earth and learn how to vanquish each one -the fearsome Atmosdragon is heating the planet and causing global warming, while the bright-eyed Glareworm is busy creating light pollution and the Smogosaurus is filling our air with toxic fumes.

Mythical monsters have always represented humanity's greatest fears and the environmental monsters in Planet SOS are no different. In all, 22 monsters feature in Planet SOS and each is paired with the mythological beast it is based on. And each monster is accompanied by a Monster Card outlining the big, bad beast's weaknesses and how to use each one to your advantage.

Includes gatefolds highlighting monster-beating actions kids can take and a world map showing where these environmental problems can be found, glossary, index and source notes.

Planet SOS Reviews

Intriguing, imaginative and inspiring, Planet SOS is an information book with a difference. Merging mythical monsters, environmental emergencies and monster cards, this is sure to engage the most reluctant of readers ... With a glorious world map and timeline, comprehensive glossary and source list, it's eye-catching, accessible and gives sites for further exploration. And, as a pleasure read, it's a delight for budding environmentalist. A must have for every school library!

* Miss Cleveland is Reading *

If you find that your own kids, or your own classes at school are groaning every time they hear or see anything about climate change or ecological disaster, this book might just change their minds and bring them back around in a fantastic way. Mixing real-world climate threats with myth and legend is an utterly genius idea and this book is one of the most impressive titles on the subject we've seen to date on the blog.

* Read it, Daddy! *

Each double-page spread in this colourful, informative and highly original book presents a 'monster' that threatens the Earth ... Environmental issues are brought to life here and dramatically connected to the child-reader ... I am always delighted to see nonfiction books presented to children in creative and appealing ways: this book, in particular, is a hugely impressive example of just that.
