3．GREAT BOOKS TO TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE Here is a shortened list of books sponsored by the magazines TIME and TIME for Kids that are suitable for primary schoolers.To make the list，we considered how age-appropriate the material was，and whether the tone and story line left the reader feeling engaged and empowered rather than anxious or confused.
Experts recommend the youngest kids to read books that explore the beauty and fragility （脆弱） of nature.When developing an appreciation for the world around them，they can switch to books that show the cause and effect of how humans treat our planet，and why it's important to respect the environment.For older primary school kids，picture books can illustrate how our use of fossil （化石） fuels contributes to global warming.Most of the books on the list also offer lessons about how children，families，schools，and communities can make a difference.
