Description

The digital communications industry has profoundly impacted our world. The Planet Human series breaks down the human impact on the environment over time and around the globe. Each title presents important high-interest natural science nonfiction content with global relevance.

School Library Journal

Gr 4-6–This series starkly emphasizes the environmental toll of human activity, focusing extensively on the devastation caused by agriculture, communications, energy, fashion, and plastics. Children will even learn how their pens are harming the planet. Unlike other hopeful climate narratives, this collection centers predominantly on the challenges. While acknowledging changemakers and potential solutions, the overall tone is sobering. The visually striking pages, composed of large photos and a vibrant layout, contribute to the impactful presentation. The back matter includes an activity, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. VERDICT There are many climate series this year, consider alternatives if looking for a series that leave children with a more optimistic perspective.
