The Story of Conservation

A brilliant introduction to what conservation is and how important it is in the fight against climate change.

The book highlighted some important topics such as the extraction of fossil fuels, deforestation, sea level rise, and global warming. I was really impressed with the mention of land being stolen from indigenous communities, as that's not normally something spoken about in children's books, but it is so incredibly important.

An overall wonderful book!

This would be a great book for elementary classrooms for students to learn about conservation. It’s very well organized and that makes it super easy for children to understand. My nephew really enjoyed this book and loved all the illustrations.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is a great introduction to conservation for children. It takes you on a journey from prehistoric times to now, highlighting the changes in people's habits, the ways nature was affected for the worse, and the ways people worked to counter those changes and protect nature.

The illustrations are humorous and drive home the points that the text makes. They are drawn in a child-like manner which makes it easy to tell what's going on.

This would be a great book for use in early elementary classrooms and library storytimes to teach children about conservation.

This book tells the story of conservation from prehistory to now with great descriptions and gorgeous illustrations. It is well organized and is easy for young children to understand. My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it lead to discussions on what we can do to help aid conservation. One thing our Book Club has recently done to help with conservation is having everyone bring their own reusables instead of one time use plates, cups, bowls, etc. It is great to finally have a good, thorough book about conservation written for children.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the opportunity to review this book in advance of publication.

I appreciate the complex task it is to create an informational text on conservation for children. The author, however, does a brilliant job blending language that is accessible to young children, while being factual and socially responsible. This texts offers a young reader an introduction to conservation across the centuries, with a heavy focus on North America initially, but covers conservation across all the continents . This work of non-fiction is excellent for a younger elementary crowd around 6-8 years old.
