2.0 out of 5 stars
disappointing,

This review is from: Why Should I Save Water? (Why Should I? Books) (Paperback)
This book was a disappointment because we have Green's "Why Should I Save Energy?" so I was expecting more. I have a problem with my four year old running through the house flipping on appliances, all the lights, then turning all the faucets on, including the spigot outdoors. "Why Should I Save Energy?" got the message across... we don't do this because electricity is generated from fossil fuels, and that's polluting and expensive, so we want to use as little electricity as we need to. That way we can enjoy life better.
The approach Green took with this book seemed bizarre to me, although not totally different from "Energy." In "Energy," the kids experience a blackout and have to sit around in the dark with flashlights. In "Water," there is some imaginary drought? Where there is no water left anywhere on earth? My husband agreed with me that it's kinda confusing when you're trying to teach kids about the water cycle... like water never goes away, it just evaporates? My kid is four years old and he's not going to turn the hose off because he's worried about some fake-believe drought where all the water magically disappears. Why couldn't she just stick with the basics? It costs us money to waste water and it creates pollution, so we should use as little as we need to. If you are looking for a general book about conservation, Greens "Energy" title is great. For water conservation, look elsewhere. Why Should I Save Energy? (Why Should I?)

This review is from: Why Should I Save Water? (Why Should I? Books) (Paperback)
I wasn't too thrilled that neighbor Kristy only started saving water because it was mandated. However, it is a great book to discuss why we should ALWAYS conserve water. I most recently read this to my kinder class on a rainy day! We wondered if it would be ok to waste water on rainy days as well, we shared ways we save water in our home, we now want our own water barrel for our school, and we loved the illustrations. Unlike a previous reviewer I don't believe that we should teach children to conserve because it costs money. It's like saying rich folks don't need to worry about the environment, and money is an abstract concept at the this age anyway. I understand that teaching the water cycle and this at the same time may be confusing. However, if we continue to waste and pollute water it WILL run out one day. The documentary Tapped is a great resource for adults wanting to learn more about water.
