This cheerfully illustrated title provides a good introduction to the environment for grade school readers.  They will learn what the environment is, and then about endangered species, greenhouse gases, how to limit a carbon footprint and more.  Children will also be invited to complete projects including making your own microhabitats and making a mini greenhouse. There are also some fun quizzes.  This book provides a positive resource that will teach children to respect and preserve the world around them.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.  I highly recommend this engaging and thoughtful title.

A wonderful introductory book about the environment. Concepts are introduced simply with vibrant illustrations. There are projects that introduce concepts in each chapter. focusing on a variety of topics including: different environments around the world, how animal behavior benefits their environment, pollution, and how to improve conditions. This book would be great for grades 3-6 students.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Looking back on my childhood, I can't believe we didn't learn more about the environment and global warming in school. I've been on the lookout for books related to these topics for my classroom library. I think it's really important to teach kids about these things so history doesn't keep repeating itself. Jonathan Litton did an amazing job writing in a straightforward way that's easy for kids to understand. Moreover, the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous; all the colors are bright and vivid. This is definitely a book I wish I could have read as a kid.
