Hi Carol –
Twenty-six short chapters really enable readers to commit to making a long-term change. Best of luck in our draw!

This book sounds interesting. I like the format of the book with short chapters and scenarios to help you think about what you should do instead of “listing/telling” you what to do. I think when children have to think something through by themselves, they are more likely to internalize it and hopefully remember to follow through with the concept/idea in life.

This book looks great and would be a fantastic book to share with my daughter. It would certainly help her understand the importance of being good to the environment. The authors approach is one that she would enjoy as well as understand.

This book leaves lots of room for discussion with students about what they can do to maintain and improve the earth’s environment.

It sounds like this book does a great job of giving practical examples of reducing, reusing, recycling, and perhaps most importantly, re-thinking how we live our lives. I will definitely check out this book and this author. Thank you for suggesting a timely resource and giving us information about top-quality children’s literature.

In reply to V.J. Hill. I like the format - especially for grade two or three. Short chapters and engaging illustrations will appeal to emergent readers.

We are always looking for new ideas to celebrate Earth Week at our school, and for new initiatives for the Green Team. This sounds like a great resource.

It’s a terrific idea to reinforce environment consciousness at a young age. This would be a great addition to the local library and the school library!

Hi Lee-Ann,
I really appreciated that fact that it is not “preach-y.” Readers are encouraged to do their best.

This book sounds fantastic and if it is like E is for Ethics I have a feeling my daughter will love it. Hopefully it can help us counteract some of the mixed messages she gets.
