This book is in no way, shape, or form a children's book. I bought it for my five year old, thinking it sounded like a good book. It depicts a spoiled, rotten, brat who can only think of himself. It shows the worst of humanity and doesn't depict the bad behavior as being wrong. To me it says that the destruction of our enviroment is not only OK but acceptable. I would not reccommend this book for anyone!
