Synopsis:

One day many, many years from now, a young Noorfblook child named Plib goes on a class trip to his favourite place \- the Natural History Museum] Some kids love the exhibits on Outer Space. Others love the Evolution Room. Could Noorfblooks really have descended from frogs? But Plib\x27s favourite displays are of human beings. Plib loves humans. All his favourite books and movies are about them, and he never goes anywhere without his trusted stuffy, Frank. He\x27ll never get to meet a human being, however, for one very simple reason: they went extinct ten million years ago] But, how did humans go extinct? Some of the theories Plib learns are silly, while others are sad; but all will allow the children of today to consider how their actions will affect the future. Johnny Marciano\x27s hilarious and timely story, brought to life by Paul Hoppe\x27s laugh\-out\-loud illustrations, provides a great vehicle for parents to discuss the environment, natural history, and global human behaviour with their own curious Plibs.
