Uno's Garden by Graeme Base

With Uno's Garden, I was able to relay to my 4-year old why we shouldn't destroy the world's natural habitats.

Using fantastic creatures (and one ordinary snortlepig), Base has created a world where people, in trying to be create something wonderful, end up destroying what they had.

Don't worry! This book is not completely depressing. Base shows how one morning the people wake up, look outside and say, "Why do we live in a place with no trees?" and leave. Thus begins a journey back to a perfectly balanced earth.

** BONUS ** Base also plays number games throughout which interested my 4-year old.
