Aimed at children ages 9-12, The Magic School Bus and The Climate Challenge introduces kids to the dangers of climate change without being too scary. It also gives concrete examples of what kids can do to try to decrease their carbon footprint and join together to make a diference. The fun, humorous writing style, along with the speech bubble and "lots of side notes" format, make the book enjoyable. Heck - I even enjoyed reading it all by myself! (And learned a few things too.)
