Summary:
A Child's Introduction to the Environment provides an entertaining
and instructive tour of the Earth's varied environments, along with
activities and materials to encourage young environmentalists. Kids
aged 9-12 and their parents will appreciate this upbeat yet
clear-eyed, interactive look at our magnificent planet and how we can
safeguard it. Exploring in turn the water, land, and air around us,
the book looks at the wide variety of environmental regions of the
world (deserts, forests, cities, farms, ice caps, oceans) as well as
the atmosphere, weather, energy sources, plants, and animals of each
area. Short features throughout offer fun facts, projects, and
experiments that kids can do with parents or on their own. And a
special packet inside the front cover contains a reusable lunch sack,
peel-off stickers with messages such as "TURN OFF THE LIGHTS,"
"RECYCLE," and "UNPLUG," and a special poster from the NRDC. Charming
original watercolor illustrations throughout are perfectly paired
with an accessible text by a father-and-son team of writers (Dad is a
meteorologist). And it is all printed on recycled material, of
course!
