Earth - Feeling the Heat

By: Brenda Z Guiberson
Illustrated by Chad Wallace

Life cycles become a very exciting topic for young children who are beginning to understand all forms of life and how they continue to reproduce. From the African Savanna deep down in the great Oceans, Guiberson explores the many animals that are affected by global warming. Each open double page features a beautiful illustration that is done in a chalk-like way. The book poses questions to the reader, "Who can help these animals?" The book helps readers to critically look at the way our planet is functioning and the effect that pollution, global warming and other factors has on the many different species that cover the Earth. The beautiful creatures that live on this Earth are slowly beginning to disappear - Who can help? Be sure to look at the Orangutan page - the thunderstorm illustration is absolutely exquisite.
