2023 - 1970’s Immersion Reading Challenge

The Wumpy World by Bill Peet (1970) 44 pages.

READING LEVEL: 5.3 AR POINTS: 0.5

I’m starting the new year off with 6 Bill Peet children’s books from the ‘70s. These will all be donated to Bridge City Elementary School

Putting aside today’s political scam on “climate change” to coerce a move towards a one world government, this book actually does show the truth about humans and our destructive ways here on earth…except this takes place on Wump World.

The author should have devoted more than one page about the cute little Wumps and their carefree life before the Pollutians from Pollutus came and destroyed everything so kids can connect and really feel sorry for them. Otherwise, a good little story. ( )

Honestly, of all the books I read throughout my childhood, this one stuck with me the most and I think about it fairly regularly. I without question credit this and [b:The Lorax|7784|The Lorax|Dr. Seuss|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327879938l/7784._SX50_.jpg|886002] for turning me into an environmentalist before I even knew what that meant.

The wumps live in a wonderful green planet that is invaded by aliens called Pollutians who come and destroy the beautiful planet and pollute the air. After the Pollutians realize this planet had become too polluted they leave to find another planet to inhabit, and the wumps are able to live there again as nature is slowly restored.

a bunch of wumps have to run away because people are ruinning the world. the people end up leaving because it was bad. finally the wumps are able to come back and take care of the world and let it grow
