REVIEW
Scientist Max Axiom guides the reader through the subject of global warming. We learn about greenhouse gases, how the atmosphere works, the role of carbon dioxide and other gases, how deforestation and pollution affect the environment, weather, climate changes, and how weather changes affect different parts of the Earth. From beginning to end, Max Axiom helps the reader make sense of this controversial issue and the ramifications of humans on the Earth. Our faithful narrator does not stop there. He also helps the reader understand how they can help solve the problem.
Capstone Press’ Graphic Library series of books is an amazingly well designed, well-written piece of comic literature. Aimed at helping young children learn important information in engaging and interesting ways, Capstone has put together a series of books essential to the classroom.
From the writing, to the illustrations these books are very interesting and kids should find them fun to read.

Highly Recommended
Put those 1980’s Public Service Announcements disguised as comics out of your mind right now. UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL WARMING is nothing of the sort. Rather, it is a dandy book that will spark interest in science and promote learning in the classroom.
