Little Kid Reaction

My son especially enjoyed the trip to Quantia for the Rainbow Festival. Its colorful characters represented different types of life forms and their inter-connectivity to each other.

Big Kid Reaction

The book leaves you with the feeling that you CAN make a difference in the world if you’re aware of what’s going on around you. I highly recommend this story as an inspiring and educational tale that doesn’t feel like a lecture.

Type of Book:
This is a novel whose theme is ecology , conservation, and preservation.
Educational Themes:

The adventures essentially cover all of the topics one would expect to study in Ecology & Habitat 101. This approach is more enjoyable because you’re doing it in a bubble-craft.
