PreS-Gr 2–Preston-Gannon presents simple and realistic everyday tasks that families and their little ones can do to help preserve water, reduce waste, and reuse materials. Each page offers a charming snapshot of babies and their families doing little things that help Earth in a big way. The artwork is cheerful and relatable so that any child could see themselves participating in the activities. Families and people shown are highly diverse in family structure, ability, and race.
VERDICT Helping the environment is something that everybody can do; this rhyme-filled book of easy-to-try examples is sure to inspire our youngest generation and show them how they, too, can be green.
