Rotten Island Book

Really fun, colorful illustrations. The setup describing an incredible ecosystem where unique creatures live and interact with each other is wonderful, if a bit repetitve. I thought the "rotten" island was great, cool, and much more interesting than the "beautiful" world that begins to grow when the rotten environment is destroyed. The new environment looks like the Earth we know, with flowers and birds, and sadly, super boring. Bring back the fighting monsters! Lots to ponder here about morality, destruction, how/why the rotten world is destroyed, rebirth, and which world is preferable, with an ambiguous ending.
