“The term “pollution” has finally crept into juvenilia and it comes by way of Brian Wildsmith’s rich gouaches and fable. The fable, drawing upon the Old Testament story, should create a storm because it effectivelyinforms children about the destructive nature of pollution. It’s virtually saying the world is intolerable and it will necessitate nothing short of a modern day Noah’s Ark to flee it.”
Martin Gervais, Windsor Star

to blast off with him to another planet in order to escape the destruction of the forest.
