Climate Change for Kids
22 April 2012
By P. Woodland
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a well written book that explains the issues of climate change and the need to recycle to its target age group of 5 - 9 year old children. The illustrations are bright and bold with little additions like squirrels and birds that make you look deeper into the pictures. It doesn't get too heavy into science but handles it nice and lightly.
There is an action plan in the back of the book with ideas that children can promote in their lives to help the Earth - our round house!
