Chris Van Allsburg always impresses me! I love how he works in science fictiony ideas into his stories. In Just a Dream he takes Walter, the littering protagonist, who laughs at his neighbor for choosing a tree for a birthday gift. He goes inside to watch his favorite show about this cool futuristic society where people fly tiny airplanes and have robots. Soon he falls asleep and is swept away in a dream that takes him to the future, where there is litter, smog, pollution, and all the other consequences that come with reckless behavior.
This is a great book to pull during an environmental or resources science unit or for Earth Day.
