Reviews
"On distant planet Gala, many Galinos have a bad case of wastefulness. Sound familiar?... Cold comfort to know we are the not the only environmentally destructive hooligans in the universe." - Kirkus Reviews "A book to help us appreciate nature and learn the urgency of protecting it through a fun adventure with friends." - Kirkus Reviews "An environmentally conscious and thought-provoking story....Readers are asked to think critically about environmental issues and the challenges and sacrifices that must be made in order to keep our planet healthy. Colorful pencil-on-paper illustrations enhance the organic and Earth-inspired text. Accurate translation from Spanish to English makes this import easy to read. With its appealing cartoon art and child-focused take on this serious topic, this solid addition can be used to spark discussion and introduce units on protecting the environment." - School Library Journal

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
