|summary=Michael Foreman's 'One World' is a wonderful thought -provoking book about just how fragile our planet can be. It is a simple story, quite beautifully illustrated, of two children creating their own world by a little rock pool on the beach. However, there are some stark similarities between their newly created mini world and this big wide world which we all inhabit and which we have to look after. This book has a simple but extremely important message that you will want to share with your child.

''Tiny fish darted into the shadows past sea anemones like flowers in a secret garden.''
Overall, I can't praise 'One World' enough particularly because it shares the author's concern about the environment. Although it is a picture book that younger children would enjoy, I feel that it is probably aimed more at older children who are more likely to appreciate the message. I shared the book with my almost eight -year -old daughter and she was really moved by what we read. Her six -year -old sister loved the book too but I'm not convinced that she understood all the underlying messages. Nevertheless, this wonderful book has certainly provided a talking point in our house.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Oh! If Only... by Michael Foreman]].
Other books with an environmental theme that your child might enjoy are [[The Trouble with Dragons by Debi Gliori]] and [[Willow of the Woods: Litter to Glitter by Helen Bailey and Kirsten Richards]].
