On November 8th from 1-3pm, Children's Book author and illustrator Robert Wells brings his new book to ABFAS!

Greenhouse gas, global warming... We hear these words in our news and conversations daily, which means our children are growing up with these words in a way in which our generation never dreamed possible. Enter Robert Wells. By using an easygoing style, simple language and colorful drawings in Polar Bear, Why is Your World Melting?, children can read and begin to understand these concepts! Why is so much carbon dioxide going into the air and what can be done to help keep the Earth cool?

In the Arctic, the summer ice is melting, making it hard for polar bears and their cubs to survive. Why is the world getting warmer?

The heat of the sun is trapped by the greenhouse gases that surround Earth, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor. If there is just the right amount of these trapped gases, the air is warm enough for plants, animals, and people to thrive. But now there is too much greenhouse gas, especially carbon dioxide. Polar bears, and all of us, are in trouble.

Reading level: Ages 4-8

Robert Wells is also the author of such popular books as "Can You Count to a Googol?", "What's Smaller Than a Pygmy Shrew?", "How Do You Lift a Lion?", "What's Faster than A Speeding Cheetah?" and "Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?" among other similar concept books for children, all available at ABFAS!
