Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
This anthology of short stories, essays and poems by twenty-six children's authors celebrates Mother Earth. The hardcover book is beautifully illustrated by well-known children's artists. Since part of its impact comes from the combination of author and illustrator, the audiocassette should be paired with the book for maximum enjoyment and effectiveness. The readers do a good job; they speak clearly, and their presentations match the characters of the pieces they read. The changing voices ease the transition from one piece to the next and help keep the audience involved. Proceeds from the sale of both book and cassette go to organizations promoting peace and ecological living. L.R.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Environmentalism without the Push,
This review is from: Big Book for Our Planet (Audio Cassette)
I had this book growing up as a child, and I remember thinking it was this most amazing book. All these different stories that in some way talked about saving the planet. And most importantly, that I, a little kid, could do something to help save it! This book talked about environmentalism before it was cool, before the "green" movement was nothing but a blip on the radar. It was illustrated beautifully, by all manner of artists. The stories were diverse, informative, inspirational, cautionary. Even as an 8 year old, I could understand the big picture.
I highly recommend for any parent who wants to show their children what an amazing planet this is, without pushing the kids into the politics of green.
