It took me a long time to start reading this book because the cover was off-putting for me. Other than the cover, the rest of the book had really cute art that I think kids will enjoy. There is a lot of great educational content provided throughout the book but it only focuses one or two pages per topic. For future books, it would be better to focus an entire chapter per topic that way kids can get a better grasp of the topics.

Looking back on my childhood, I can't believe we didn't learn more about the environment and global warming in school. I've been on the lookout for books related to these topics for my classroom library. I think it's really important to teach kids about these things so history doesn't keep repeating itself. Jonathan Litton did an amazing job writing in a straightforward way that's easy for kids to understand. Moreover, the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous; all the colors are bright and vivid. This is definitely a book I wish I could have read as a kid.

A wonderful introductory book about the environment. Concepts are introduced simply with vibrant illustrations. There are projects that introduce concepts in each chapter. focusing on a variety of topics including: different environments around the world, how animal behavior benefits their environment, pollution, and how to improve conditions. This book would be great for grades 3-6 students.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

EXPLORE. CREATE. INVESTIGATE.

The Environment is a simple first introduction to the environment—the air, soil, water, plants, and animals. This little chapter book teaches all about the natural world and how we make an impact, both good and bad to it. The book contains three different types of pages: Explore, Investigate, and Create. The structure of this little book allows for a very fun and hands on learning experience.

The Environment is a must have in the science classroom for the K-2 grade levels!

I recieved a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This cheerfully illustrated title provides a good introduction to the environment for grade school readers.  They will learn what the environment is, and then about endangered species, greenhouse gases, how to limit a carbon footprint and more.  Children will also be invited to complete projects including making your own microhabitats and making a mini greenhouse. There are also some fun quizzes.  This book provides a positive resource that will teach children to respect and preserve the world around them.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.  I highly recommend this engaging and thoughtful title.

I got requested for two books by Quarto Publishing Group in NetGalley, and I adored them. So, when I saw that they have a new one, I requested it immediately. Unfortunately, I was not liked as much as I lived the other two.
This book is for the lower age range, I would put it on 7-12 years. There was less text, too and the facts were more ordinary facts than something exciting. So, yes, this book is definitely for children. I know that my 10-year-old self would adore this. There was a lot of crafting projects which were interesting. As a kid, I was obsessed with these types of crafting book.
The drawing style was ok. I wasn’t a fan of the human, but the other draws were solid.
I really recommend this book for a younger age group. There are a lot of facts about our environment, so they can grow up with care for nature. Also, there are a lot of project for them, which also instructive for them.
