This review is from: Easy to Be Green: Simple Activities You Can Do to Save the Earth (Little Green Books) (Paperback)

Our family has many books on living green and the environment. This one is a great little find! Perfect book for summer reading/activities, or to take on vacation.

The book starts with a few pages on global warming and how our planet is changing. It explains WHAT a carbon footprint is and WHY it is important to make changes. It gives them ideas on what THEY CAN DO - from recycling to composting to "finding their voice" by writing to politicians and talking to people about the problems and solutions. There are short sections on endangered animals, trash & landfills, recycling, composting and green cleaning products. Included in each section are fun activities, puzzles, word searches. It's JUST enough information to give kids (I'd say appropriate for ages 4-12). Even if you have other books - this is WORTH adding to your home library!

It's even printed on 100% recycled materials with vegetable-based inks!

This review is from: Easy to Be Green: Simple Activities You Can Do to Save the Earth (Little Green Books) (Paperback)

We purchased this book to help teach our kids about Earth Day and why it's important to help Save the Earth! Our boys (ages 2 & 4) loved the pictures and were inspired to help us collect the newspapers, bottles, and cans after reading and at least for a little while learned to stop running water while brushing their teeth!
