We have been fans of this series that introduces kids to science concepts without the usual solemnity of a text book. This time out Ms Frizzle takes the kids on a world wide tour, showing them the effects of global warming. The busy pages are full of factoids and kids in motion and information. Best of all the book doesn’t just show all the problems, it ends with ideas about what kids and their families can do about their own little corner of the world. Getting that idea across is no small thing. 7 & up.
