Bob McCarty Writes

Thank God for Holly Fretwell’s new book, The Sky’s Not Falling! Why It’s Ok to Chill About Global Warming.

The Sky’s Not Falling! is billed by its publisher as the balanced alternative to Scholastic’s fear-inducing global warming kids’ book, Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming by Laurie David, the producer of Al Gore’s Academy Award-winning documentary, an inconvenient truth.

Fretwell, a natural resources management expert and professor at Montana State University, shows kids 9-12 that human ingenuity combined with an “environprenuerial” spirit will lead us to a bright environmental future, not one where people ruin the earth. In addition, she targets parents who are sick of seeing their kids indoctrinated by has-been politicians and Hollywood stars.

In short, The Sky’s Not Falling! is everything Scholastic’s book should be — fact-filled, apolitical, fun and optimistic about the future of our magnificent, ever-changing planet.
