This is quite an in depth look at what climate change is and what can be done to try and slow it down. It is definitely a book designed for kids with colourful pages and nice graphics. It does have a lot of information in it and can be a little bit all over the place at times. I like that it posed questions to the readers about certain things related to climate change so they can think about the answers.
It would suit more advanced older school children interested in the environment and sciences, as the book does contain quite a lot of information.
Thanks to Netgalley.com and Quarto Publishing for this eARC copy.
This is for children and I’d basically say elementary age would benefit most, but older students could enjoy it as well as learn some interesting things too. This is a nicely designed book that would appeal to children. It is colorful with a graphic novel feel, but full of science knowledge centered about climate change. Readers learn about this topic and why it is important. They learn why it is happening and why talking about this is difficult making it an issue. The information is helpful and there are also some details that readers will be surprised to learn. I recommend this book for libraries and teachers to help discuss the subject of climate change. Sometimes topics are difficult to discuss from how to approach it to what information to give. It can be difficult to understand as well. This book can help. While the design is fun it can sometimes be overwhelming for an information book. There are boxes all over the place. Keeping this in mind is important, but the information is helpful. It is up to the reader and teacher to decide if the design is beneficial and appealing enough.
I wanted to read this book to better understand climate change. Unfortunately, while the book undoubtedly contains the facts, the design is so busy and all over the place, it makes it almost impossible to navigate round or assimilate any information. I found it difficult to retain anything I had just read as there seemed to be no coherent narrative. I showed my 13 year old nephew and he said it just looked like someone had stuck a load of random post it notes to a page...
Climat Change is a hard topic to cover all the factors in when talking to children. This book does an excellent job and covering all the bits and bobs effecting this very important and devastating change in our environment.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This is a great book for children of primary school age to read on the subject of climate change, what it is and what happens. This book gives some great information for children to learn and understand what its all about and then make up their own ideas from the information provided. Thus would be a great topical book to have within a classroom and would help children with for and against discussions too.
