Review
“A one-of-a-kind book that uses real-life examples to teach young people everywhere that they can make a positive difference.” —Midwest Book Review
The Doggy Dung Disaster is like opening a treasure chest, rich with hope, heavily laden with motivating stories." —Warren McLaren, Treehugger.com
“Sit back and enjoy these 30 incredible human interest stories. The most uplifting and encouraging part is that they are true, inspiring and all about children who have faced extraordinary odds and accomplished near miracles. We meet young heroes that have used their talents and creativity to help others and/or save the environment.” —Skipping Stones Bookshelf
“This collection of tales about real kids doing amazing things is inspiring. It’s broken into sections so you can choose a story that appeals to your mood. Feeling distressed about the environment? Read about kids who’ve done something to help the planet, including a 12-year-old Japanese girl who invented a pooper-scooper for dogs that’s more friendly to the environment than the plastic bags most people use. There also are stories about kids overcoming challenges, using their talents and creativity, standing up for themselves and helping others.” —Washington Post
