Much of what has been written about pollution and global warming is not
only difficult to understand, but misleading as well. In this book, the
author presents the issues, gives the science behind the happenings,
focuses on individuals who have had an impact on our world, offers ways the
reader can take action, and includes many fun and informative experiments
and things to make. From replacing incandescent light bulbs with
fluorescent ones to making a compost pile and recycling cans, bottles, and
plastics this is a book young readers will enjoy for its hands-on fun and
straight talk that presents possibilities.

Nurturing the Love of Reading in Young Minds
Encouraging a love for reading begins early, and our young readers' collection is designed to do just that. We offer a diverse range of books that fuel the imagination and knowledge in children aged 6-12. From timeless classics to contemporary favourites, our selection inspires young minds to explore and learn.
For our youngest readers (ages 6-8), we've gathered an array of picture books brimming with vibrant illustrations and simple text. These stories help little ones build vocabulary and develop a keen interest in the written word. As children grow into more confident readers (ages 8-10), we offer early chapter books that bridge the gap between picture books and longer novels.
Our older readers (ages 10-12) will find shelves full of engaging middle-grade novels that challenge and excite. These books introduce more complex themes and characters, helping children develop critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence.
Throughout our collection, you'll find beloved series that have captivated generations, alongside exciting new voices in children's literature. Whether your child dreams of magical adventures or loves learning about the real world, we have books to match their passions. Non-fiction titles on topics from dinosaurs to space exploration sit comfortably next to fantastical tales of dragons and wizards.
We believe in the power of choice when it comes to fostering a reading habit. That's why we offer a wide variety of genres, styles, and reading levels. From the laugh-out-loud humour of Diary of a Wimpy Kid to the thoughtful narratives of award-winning authors, there's something here to pique every interest.
Our Young Readers collection caters to children typically aged 6 to 12 years old, encompassing an exciting variety of stories that match different reading levels and interests.
Choosing the right book is key to fostering a love of reading. We recommend:
- Consider your child's interests: Whether they love animals, sports, or fantasy, we have books to match their passions.
- Look at reading levels: Choose books that challenge your child slightly without being frustrating.
- Explore different genres: Encourage variety to broaden your child's literary horizons.
- Read together: Even as children become independent readers, sharing books can be a wonderful bonding experience.
Remember, every child's reading journey is unique. Our diverse collection allows you to tailor your choices to your child's individual needs and preferences.
Absolutely! Our collection includes classics like "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, which are timeless favourites among young readers. You can also explore our Children's Classics collection here.
We recommend visiting the book's product page on our website, and viewing the recommended titles as they have similar genres and themes. You can also search for books by the same author, or books that have the same genres and topics by linking on the links in the book information section of the page.
Many of our books complement primary school curricula. Look for non-fiction books that align with subjects your child is studying, or historical fiction that brings past events to life. Reading widely also improves general knowledge and language skills, benefiting all areas of study.
A good rule of thumb is the "five-finger test". Have your child read a page from the book. If they struggle with more than five words, the book might be too challenging.
