Book Reviews of The Wartville Wizard

Book Review: Very creative storyline.
Summary: 3 Stars

This seems to be a book that has gotten swept under the rug in the past years nowhere have I ever heard about it or seen it and I think I figured out why. The story is great its perfect for teaching young minds about the importance of recycling and keeping Mother earth clean and happy but it needs a little updating and tweaking. Mr. Wartville has many problems with the people of his town to put it frankly their slobs! but in the story the author who probably wrote this in the 80's when we weren't as "P.C" about everything uses terms like "cigarette butts" and "beer cans" and then you see some slop with his garbage stuck to him and its a smashed up beer can. I guess if the children are older and your kids are well aware of those two items you wouldn't mind those references but for me it made me wince a little. Otherwise a story with a good lesson!
