In clear language, this book explains the long, natural process that creates crude oil; how it's refined; and how it's used to provide fuel or to make plastics. Dong's colorful mixed-media illustrations, which were processed digitally, help to add clarity. The text, which uses oil as a first-person narrator, doesn't shy away from the problems with using fossil fuels and also discusses renewable sources of energy. A glossary and several informational notes are appended. (c) Copyright 2025. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
