    Review

    This charming and educational story introduces younger reader to the concepts of electricity production and renewable energy.

    The book starts with an abridged timeline of human energy use, from prehistoric usage of fire and ancient reverence of the sun, to the industrial revolution and discovery of electricity, all the way to the advent of renewable energies and hope for a cleaner energy future and refers to the earth as being at least 1.5 billion years old.

    Global warming and greenhouse emissions are explored in an informative, engaging, and approachable manner, presenting it in an accessible form for younger audiences.

    The book also delves into the major forms of renewable energy in a similarly engaging and educational manner, before capping it off with some tips on how to reduce excess personal energy consumption.

    Philip Bunting’s funny asides and signature illustrations make this both a wonderful teaching resource and a delightful read.

    A fabulous resource for both discussing renewable energy options and broaching the topic of climate change.
