This sounds like a really wonderful book for kids. It not only entertains them but also raises their awareness of the ecological problems with the polution of oceans. One of Mike and Alex's solutions for that problem picked my interest: "a solution where the garbage is deposited back on people's doorsteps". Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Hi!
I just read this awesome review, I'm getting enticed about the book already. The theme of friendship emphasized on, makes me remember my bestfriend - I could describe the both of us as Mark and Alex.
This is a great book for kids with curious minds, maybe I'd buy this for my kid when I have one someday.

Congratulation on being BOTD!

Thank you for the review. The book sounds like a great children's book. I may want to get this for my kids and gift it to their teachers to add to their classroom library.

:techie-studyingbrown: Mike and Alex 3&4 book

It's good to read a book where nature constantly communicate with each other like this one by (Peter van Wermeskerken)
I like how Peter combine the aquatic life with the terrestrial in his book, which makes it more educational and interesting for young minds.
The story emphasized the beauty and importance of working together while using different capabilities towards making one's life better.
I definitely recommend it for any parent who wishes to teach their children more about nature and togetherness . The author deserves the nomination.

I give 5 out of 5! :tiphat: :techie-reference:

I find the plot that revolves around two land animals, Mike and Alex, who help others fascinating. It is a good activity for children to try to find a solution together with the animals to solve their problems. The book can also teach children a bit of geography by traveling to different parts of the world.

It is an educational children's book about the friendship of Mike ( rabbit), Alex (boar ), and other animals against human cruelty. The author's creativity would benefit children.

I like the fact that the author, Peter van Wermeskerken, used names associated with human beings such as Mike and Alex on animals so that the book can be relatable.

Mike and Alex show to be Caring and loving land animals. Always ready to save the day. Or help who is in need. Quite an educational one I say.
And teaching socializing skills as well

Mike and Alex, renowned land animals, rush to aid Wally, a whale harpooned by humans. Father Matt Dol-Phin seeks their help, counting on their reputation for assisting animals in need.

This, interestingly, sounds like something that came out of a cartoon story. 'Mike and Alex are land animals known for always coming to the aid of animals whenever they need it.'
