It's not deep or comprehensive, but this could be a good primer on environmental responsibility for young folks who are looking at life through a Judeo-Christian/intelligent design lens. Generally wholesome and cheerful.

... I'm taking off a star for the blanket, no-caution recommendation of vegetarian dog food. You wanna eat vegetarian? Awesome! Research your nutritional needs and go for it! Wanna make a predator eat vegetarian? Research their nutritional needs and then probably don't f*cking do that.

Decent book to introduce your typical middle-class white evangelical Christian teen or youth group to the idea of Creation Care. Would not recommend for thoughtful reading or spectacular insights, but for precisely such an audience it would be an effective introduction.

Way too superficial. It's cute, the intention is there, but the tips for saving the planet is not ultimately helpful nor does it give guidance towards action. But i liked the part where she relates how God wants us to take care of our environment. She provided nice bible verses, and liked it.
