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...

Een egoïstische man denkt dat de hele wereld van hem is en gaat net zo lang door tot iedereen ook echt van hem is.. alleen komt hij iets tegen wat niet meewerkt. Ik vond het maar een vreselijk mannetje, wat de bedoeling is volgens mij, dus goed gedaan. Ik was zo trots even op de berg, jammer dat ook deze het niet tegenhield. Het einde was echt wel een verrassing. Natuurlijk, nu ik er over nadenk was het ergens te verwachten, maar op dat punt had ik een heel ander einde gedacht.
Mooie illustraties, al vond ik het wel apart dat Fausto van kleur veranderde.

Vooral omdat kinderboeken vaak toch op een goede noot eindigen (nou ja, het eindigt goed voor alles wat hij tegenkomt).Mooie illustraties, al vond ik het wel apart dat Fausto van kleur veranderde.

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.

Uh. No. Not a book I’ll be buying or reading to a child. Man who stomps and shouts to get his way, until he tries to stomp the sea and drowns.

Fausto reminds us all that our sense of control over this world is an illusion. While we may impact the earth by our greed, the earth will ultimately continue on with or without us.
