This book is a great resource, full of great ways to help the environment. It is very American, full of statistics, facts, figures and language relating to the US, but this doesn't detract from the value of this book. All the issues are explained and ideas are presented in an appealing, child-friendly way. There are activities to appeal to a wide age-range.
As a parent who is concerned and interested in environmental issues this is a great way of introducing the ideas to children in a fun way. I love this book and recommend it very highly.

Teaching children to respect the Earth
20 July 2002
By Marylyn Rands
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Linda Schwarz, along with her illustrator Beverly Armstrong, has written an activity book for children on how to care for the earth. In simple format, she defines the basic terms and ideas used in environmental study. She then offers a number of activities for understanding these concepts. For example, she describes acid rain, then gives instructions for a project to measure the amount of acid in your own rainfall. This is a useful idea book for children's rainy day or school projects from about third grade on. In fact, this would be a handy reference book any of us could use for quick definitions and helpful illustrations. It could help us better make our points in conversations and community discussions about environmental problems and what we can do about them. (Originally reviewed in The Auroran)

Great Source for Teachers!
21 April 2001
By Anne Terry
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful book for teachers to have for elementary age children when having a unit on Earth Day or celebrating Earth Day. Mainly it allows many different ways that children can help save the Earth. There are several sections of the book: Energy, resources, and recycling; Air, Land, & Water; Plant & Animal Habitat; and More Ways to Make Every Day Earth Day. Each of these sections provides simple facts and information while providing ways for children to help out or be actively involved in each particular topic. At the end of the book, there is a section called Where to Write & Glossary which provides a page on how to request for information and also provides many different resources/organizations that children can write to to obtain more information. I would definitely recommend this book for teachers to use for Earth Day units but also for children to read from if they are interested in helping save the Earth.
