When everybody tells you that you are
just a little kid, it can be hard to
see how you can do something big — like
save the earth. Love Your World:
How to Take Care of the Plants, the
Animals, and the Planet, shows how
little kids (and big kids and grownups
too!) can do little things every day —
like turning off the water when you
brush your teeth — that make a big
difference. Throughout this book,
colorful photos and collages share fun
and easy projects and ideas for ways we
can all love our planet.

Illustrated by
Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade)
Category: Earth Friendly, Realistic Fiction

George Honiker's life in East Siena,
Ohio offers little in the way of
luxury. He's living with his sister in
a tiny trailer home and he hardly ever
hears from his dad. The
town's biggest asset, the industrial
mill, is also poisoning its river.
Being poor doesn't mean you can't make
friends with the richest kid in town,
however. Somehow this is just what
happens. Just when there is hardly
anywhere for George to turn (imagine
the only place you called home being
gone when you got off the school bus),
a strange thing happens--he finds
himself living in the lap of luxury. Is
this the life for him? Does money make
life better? Find out how recycling can
take on many different forms in this
short and well written book.

Where Once There Was a Wood
Denise Fleming (1996) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Denise Fleming
Audience: Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade), Adult/Parent
Category: Earth Friendly, Non-Fiction
(This book has outstanding illustrations)
|
"Where once there was a wood, a meadow
and a creek" where animals and plants
thrived. There the red fox slept, the
horned owl hunted, the heron fished,
and
the berries ripened. Then came the
construction of houses "twenty houses
deep" and the wood, meadow, and creek
were no more. A thoughtful book about
animal habitats and the consequences of
clearing them for housing developments.
Fleming uses her trademark collage
illustrations and rhyming text to
convey
her message of wildlife conservation.
