New Books for Kids

by Mark Jabo

We don’t want to scare your kids …

Laurie David, producer of An Inconvenient Truth and wife of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David, has a new book she’s written with Cambria Gordon. Cambria is “an active environmentalist and a former award-winning advertising copywriter, who now pursues children’s writing full-time.”

Their new book is called, A Down-To-Earth Guide to Global Warming, and according to the publisher is “written for ages 8 and up.”

Presumably, kids above seven years old won’t be scared about all this talk of people frying in the street, drowning in floods or succumbing to insect-borne plagues of Biblical proportions.

Look for another “kid’s book” to come out this summer. Jason Voorhees’ Down-To-Earth Guide to Camping.

Or buy the two book gift-pack and keep your kids in line for years to come.

About Environmental Talk

Environmental Talk is a blog that attempts to do the impossible . . . which is to have a reasoned and nuanced approach to the science and issues surrounding global warming. At the same time, we are not above taking the occasional potshot at the extremists and posers on both sides of the topic.

As a global warming agnostic, blogger/moderator Mark Jabo attempts to come down squarely on the side of finding humor in what is, too often, a needlessly contentious topic.
