ReadItDaddy's Third Picture Book of the Week - Week Ending 5th June 2020: "A Climate in Chaos (and how you can help) by Neal Layton (Wren and Rook)

We're jumping the gun ahead of this book's 20th August release date as we really wanted to make sure it got in before the blog lock.

So what better way to educate younger children on the perils of climate change than with a book written and illustrated by a lovely fellah who is obviously very passionate about this subject.

"A Climate in Chaos (and how you can help)" by Neal Layton is his second book on the subject of the terrible things we do to our planet. After "A Planet Full of Plastic" Neal is once again urging little ones to consider the ecological impact of everyday 'normal' life, and the simple changes that they (and their families) can make in order to help push back on climate change.

Neal takes us back in time to the way life evolved on our planet, and how the fragile ecosystem was also formed. Through to more modern times when mankind embarked on large scale industrialisation as well as mass scale pollution of our land and oceans, until we are left today with the legacy - and ongoing issues - caused by climate change.

It's not simply warmer summers, but a whole host of things that will undoubtedly begin to adversely affect all life on earth (yes, including us) in the future.

It's a brilliantly devised rallying cry for younger readers, perfectly rendered in Neal's trademark kid-friendly style.

Sum this book up in a sentence: Another fantastic book from Neal for mini eco-warriors.

"A Climate in Chaos" by Neal Layton is out on 20th August 2020, published by Wren and Rook (kindly supplied for review).
