Book Reviews of This Is My Planet: The Kids' Guide to Global Warming

Book Review: A good start to learn about global warming
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm 11 and Im confident that my generation will end up having to find a way to begin changing the direction of apathy and neglect relating to our one and only home that we share - Planet Earth. This book helps begin to interest kids into the responsibility that we must step up to. New jobs, new vision, new attitudes etc are necessary. I like the examples and suggestions the book provides and mostly the concept that it continuously suggest that we must begin working on it today.

Summary of This Is My Planet: The Kids' Guide to Global Warming

Reports of global warming?s catastrophic effects are everywhere: in newspapers, on the nightly news, even on movie screens. The subject can be so overwhelming that young people are often left with the thought, What can I do? In This Is My Planet, Jan Thornhill gives young readers the tools they need to live their own lives more ecologically — and ultimately, to improve the life of the planet. The book takes a comprehensive look at climate change, beginning with basic information about how the planet works and moving through an in-depth look at human societies and three specific environments — polar, ocean, and land. Although she doesn't shy away from the truth, Thornhill offers hope, showing where action can make a difference and providing evidence of the Earth?s amazing resilience and adaptability. Never preachy or alarmist, this amazing book trusts young readers with the facts, allowing them to form their own intelligent opinions. A multitude of full-color photographs enhance Thornhill?s engaging, informative text.
