Reviews

“A clever . . . way to bring awareness to the very real threats to humanity posed by war, climate change, and capitalism. A compelling and unique dystopian sci-fi picture book for early school age readers, this is recommended for all collections.”
—School Library Journal

“A tongue-in-cheek invitation to make some choices about how we’d like to croak.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Ten million years after humans disappeared from Earth, young Plib finds them immensely appealing . . . Readers will undoubtedly see the parallels with their own dinosaur fandom.”
—Publishers Weekly

“The curious protagonist loves learning about Humans and is so curious about what happened to them and this leads to a wonderful bedtime conversation. I love the curiosity this book exhibits as well as the reflection it will cause about our impact on Earth.”
—Unleashing Readers
