This is a really fantastic educational children's book which shows the changes in the earth's climate, what causes climate change, and ways in which humans can solve global warming, such as by becoming vegetarian. I really loved and enjoyed reading this book and it is a book that I will read to my daughter when she is a bit older and can understand it more. The book has lovely graphics which helped me to understand the history and science in an easier way.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Apologies, I did not download this file in time before it was archived, and I've only realised that now when it has been placed in Archived-Not Downloaded.

Brilliant and colourful, the illustrations in this story are educational on their own and speak for themselves. The illustrations of animals together with the little speech bubbles are what sprinkle in a bit of personality throughout the story.

Learn about the development of flora and fauna and the Earth itself over billions and billions of years. Get insight into what scientists are doing today to track climate change and what they suggest to improve the current state.

We are all impacted, and this book provides concrete examples accompanied by clean illustrations to easily understand the urgency of the situation.

Finally, we are given some examples of creative solutions and what we can do to help. The future generations write the next chapters, and this book can help those chapters be wonderful.

In the end, there's a glossary of useful words! This entire book is important and absolutely necessary!

A very accessible introduction to climate change for younger children. It's comprehensive in it's coverage, looking at how the earths climate has changed over billions of years naturally until our modern era where it's being increasingly altered by human actions. It looks at all the different issues and possible means of helping change things and the illustrations help make this an attractive book. Definitely one we will be stocking in our libraries.

This is a very nicely illustrated book that certainly catches the eye. My daughter and I enjoyed finding another book on a subject she is passionate about. The pages were engaging, not too text heavy and the illustrations not just inviting but informative too. It was written at a good pace. She really grasped that humanity didn’t always treat the planet this way and that there was a certain point in history that our advances in technology and industry started to have a real impact.

The glossary was a welcome feature; we hoped it had one. The timeline feature towards the end was also helpful to refer to through the the reading process.

I felt that the suggestions at the end were too easy to really miss and understand that the Earth needs US to make the change. I wish it had focused a lot more on specific ways and details on how to make a difference as well as examples of what people are already doing. It would have had more impact I think to end in this way, with a charge for the reader to do something with what they now know.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book, and I think we need more books like this. Children need to learn about climate change and its effects on our world from the very early ages, and there is nothing as helpful as books. This was easy to read, and the illustrations are fun.

A great story for anyone that makes climate change easy to understand. It's aimed at older children but even as an adult I learnt a lot from this book!
Along with illustrations that are colourful, this really is a great book.
