Environmental Issues
Humans have a lasting impact on the natural world around
them. Young readers explore the relationship between people and the environment as
they learn about pollution, recycling, conserving water, and endangered
animals. The accessible main text and additional fact boxes allow early learners to develop a
deeper understanding of ecology and environmental science. Colorful photographs
of a variety of environments take readers from busy recycling plants to the
ocean floor. It’s never too early to introduce readers to ways they can care for
the planet! • Topical environmental concerns are presented in clear, simple language
geared toward early learners • Readers are encouraged to discover their own ways to help protect the
natural world • Young readers develop valuable critical thinking skills by examining the
ways people can both positively and negatively affect the
environment
