Unique and very very informative book that I believe all classrooms should have in their library. It's a fun narrative about the importance of conservation and taking care of the environment to combat climate change and destruction of many ecosystems. This is done in a very accessible way to children through fun and quirky characters that represent the winds, mother earth, and the ocean. There are a lot of fun facts that surround the overarching plot. Overall, there's a call to action at the end that all students and teachers can relate to. Would recommend!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

A Conservation Tale by Ian Sadler is a children's picture book about how to stop climate change. This book will help children and families talk about what steps they can take now in order to save the planet. According to the description, in this book, "Pongo the orangutan takes us on a journey into the future to get a glimpse of what can happen when we don't take care of our earth."

Overall, A Conservation Tale is a lovely children's book with a very important message. One highlight of this book is that it contains a very important message about conservation. The pages in the back really hammer home the lesson that students should recycle and reuse to help save the planet. I took off 2 stars, because the artwork just didn't appeal to me. Something about it felt weird. If you're intrigued by the description, you can check out this book, which is available now!

The illustrations and writing style remind me of older children's books. While it can be a little wordy at times, this is an engaging read on an important topic. For slightly older readers, I think this serves as an accessible call to action. It is very informative on environmental issues and our role in them.

A Conservation Tale is a picture book set in the future about what situation the planet may be in and how they will solve the problem then, but also what we can do now to prevent the scenario. Many of the pages had "bubbles" with text to prompt further thinking or to reference the informational content at the end of the book. I didn't find the illustrations particularly engaging, although they were very simple for children to understand. There was a lot of useful content in the book presented in an interactive way.
