Hot Air is a beautiful new look at global warming. The animals know something is wrong with the planet. But what? Farting cows, of course! Can the animals ever agree on a sustainable solution? And will they find it in time? REVIEWS: "A fresh perspective on climate change, as animals from all over the planet take matters into their own paws and claws in order to identify what's causing the rise in temperature that is affecting everyone's habitat and, having pinned it down to flatulent bovines, put their snouts and beaks together to come up with some kind of solution. It's a smart narrative that's stylishly illustrated - and framed neither as a lecture nor a morality tale, but rather, as a problem waiting for an innovative response. Do your learners agree that farting cows are the main issue facing our planet today? What other potential dangers to the environment can they identify? And what clever ideas might they suggest in order to counteract them?"
