(3) K-3 Using age level–appropriate detail, Wells explains global warming and its consequences. The text describes how fossil fuels, electricity usage, and greenhouse gasses are all related, and why Earth's rising temperatures and melting ice caps are bad news for everyone, not just polar bears. Lighthearted pen and acrylic illustrations balance the more straightforward writing style. An author's note gives additional information.
