This was a nice book with eco-friendly tips and a lot of funny cartoons also illustrating the tips, but with humour mixed in. Very cute.

You know a comic strip has been around a while when there's enough material to collect strips by theme like this. A themed collection is an ideal for gift giving. This one includes tips for greener living though said tips are fairly standard.

This book is a collection of comic strips from the comic Mutts. They are all based on the topic of the environment and ecology. It would be good in an ecology unit or for Earth Day.

'Mutts Go Green: Earth-Friendly Tips and Comic Strips' by Patrick McDonnell is a special themed collection of comics featuring Mutt and his animal friends.

The comics in this collection are interspersed with essays and tips focusing on keeping the Earth kind, clean, wild and green. The comics are themed around these themes. The call to action is gentle throughout and the steps for the young readers are within the range of children.

I like this collection because the comics feel familiar to other works by this artist. The humor is fun and never lost at the expense of the message.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Mutts Go Green is a collectible for lovers of 'Mutts' comic and those who are interested in books about saving our planet. The adorable characters from 'Mutts' comic teach humans how to protect our Planet Earth, by hugging more, recycling, eating less meat, being kind, and volunteering for good causes. I loved the confidence of the animals in changing the world, maybe that's the attitude needed to make our planet a better place. The comics were hilarious and there was also a manifesto in the end. The book provides workable suggestions for making our home better. As of now, there is only one.

I have adored the Mutts comic strip ever since the first time that I read one of Patrick McDonnell’s sweet entries. He has a way of universalizing human experience through his animal characters.

In this collection, the focus is our earth and the environment. Mixed in with the comics are suggestions for things that we all can do for our planet. Mr. McD is not (too) preachy and he makes many good points. And, of course, readers will get to spend time with Mooch, Earl and all of their friends. I defy anyone not to smile at times as they dip into this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Such a well-written book for kids, all about being kind to themselves, to the other and to their home; planet Earth. I loved how it is addressed so smartly towards the little ones without injecting fear but rather hope for a future where the collective and nature is being put in the centre rather than the self.

Thank you to Netgalley for this copy!

Free ARC from Netgalley.

The Mutts are a well known and loved comic about some mutts and how they see the world. In this they see a world in need of help to get healthy again. With lots of tips on what you can do to live greener.

Quick read with great points on the crisis the world is facing. Lots of good tips about living greener. A good book!

This collection of comics was overall enjoyable, though a bit scattered. Not being familiar with the comic or characters previously I was confused on the structure of this book. Also, the way the strips are presented makes it confusing whether longer stories are being told versus shorter, one-off images.

That being said, this was overall enjoyable and my kids laughed multiple times. Underneath the silliness lies an importance message about how we should all treat animals.

I am sure this is an adorable book, however it does not show up on my NetGalley shelf app or the pocketbook app nor will it open in the Adobe app. I’m bummed because I wanted to read it.
