Overview

When Santa's sleigh won't take off from melting Arctic ice, Captain Polo must take bold action to save Christmas for all the world's children.

"The book explains things like climate change, greenhouse gases, the atmosphere, global warming...This is different to most Christmas books." - LOL Kids Books & Art

Santa is panicking: his sleigh just won't lift off the sludgy, melting ice, and there are only a few hours left before Christmas Day dawns. Santa can't let the children down, NOT EVER, but if he can't deliver their presents, that's exactly what will happen!

Captain Polo, hero of the widely acclaimed comic series 'The Adventures of Captain Polo', stars again in this funny, vividly illustrated children's book to gently introduce some of the main facts and also practical solutions to the global climate crisis in a way that children from age 6 can understand and positively engage with.

The book includes a useful glossary of main technical terms designed to help young (and not so young) readers understand the essential drivers of climate change. This updated edition also features a new section containing FOUR PRACTICAL ACTIONS that everyone can start making to become leaders towards a healthier environment and a better future. This book offers a great way to start talking with your kids about climate change and the need for everyone to live more sustainably.

With it's festive storyline and important message, this book makes a perfect Christmas present at a time when caring about our planet has never been more important.

Get your copy in time for Christmas, and why not order a couple extra as original gifts for other families you know?
