Climate change book for a 5 year old

Hoping to get some good recommendations for a book that can be used to talk about climate change to my DS (5 years old). Have looked at some of the obvious books but they are perhaps more suitable for older children.

Any ideas for a gentle introduction that is age appropriate and won't terrify him (he's a sensitive soul)

thanks

If you don't end up finding one you could study the books designed for adults and make a child's version using recycled paper for your child, with your child. Our 7 year old devours all books on animals and habitats. Conserving habitats - clean water etc is sustainability 101. Understanding what drought and floods are and how it affects the environment is more impactful if it is in the context of changing the habitats of animals and living creatures. Books on pollution and man made rubbish are also very suitable for young children. There is a film called WALL-E (2008) that perfectly addresses the topic too.
