The Glaciers Are Melting! - Children's Book Review

Book Synopsis:

Chicken Little may have thought the sky was falling but Peter Pika is sure the glaciers are melting and is off to talk to the Mountain Monarch about it. Joined along the way by friends Tammy Ptarmigan, Sally Squirrel, Mandy Marmot, and Harry Hare, they all wonder what will happen to them if the glaciers melt. Where will they live, how will they survive? When Wiley Wolverine tries to trick them, can the Mountain Monarch save them? More importantly, can the Mountain Monarch stop the glaciers from melting?

My Review:

When a pika feels a drop of water fall on his head one day, he becomes excited and worried because the glaciers are melting.  He goes and tells an animal friend who tells another who tells another.  They continue telling animals friends about the glaciers melting until, in the end, they realize they are too small of a group to do anything about it.

In The Glaciers are Melting!, uncommon animals are introduced and there's a repetitive narrative.  The end of the story may leave children hanging, wanting a happy ending.  In the 'Creative Minds' section at the back of the book, there's true and false questions, an animal matching activity, information about glaciers, information about what you can do to slow down the climate change. 

The Glaciers are Melting! is a new Spring 2011 release from Sylvan Dell Publishing.
