I loved the book. Oliver Jeffer is one of my favourite children author. I was not sure if my son will like or undertsnad the book as it seemed to me to be aimed at grown-ups. So I was not sure if my son understood the message in the book ( 5 Years old) but I was surprised when he was retelling the story and the message it carried to one of his grandparents. He loves looking at the illustration. And makes me reread it.

3.5 stars. A picture book with an underlying theme about being kind to nature.

I don't know that this is about Trump. I hope it's about Trump. I'm just going to believe it's about Trump...

I think it was cute but also a very good learning point. Even though it is a children book it still stands to point with the lesson.

Amazing book for both adults and children. I believe the message behind the story is about humankind's arrogance of the planet we live on; the belief that we can conquer and own all of the natural world; that we have a right to do so. We are a petulant species, and many, like Fausto, feel entitled and will stamp the feet, shake their fists, scream and shout, if they don't get their own way and if their delusions of grandeur are challenged. But, as the book suggests, nature will win over humankind in the end, and our arrogance will be the spell of our demise. The planet will not mourn us and will carry on as before, free from the shackles we have put it in. This is my interpretation of 'The Fate of Fausto' .

Interesting book. Gorgeous pictures but I don't see it as a book for smaller children. Great for a storytime for first and second grade readers where a discussion could be had afterwards.
