Little Green Books Review and Giveaway!

Earth Day was a few days ago. I hope that you had the opportunity to talk to your kids and/or students about how we can all work together to take care of the place where we all live. Caring about the Earth should only be on one day but every day! I had the opportunity to read some educational, insightful, and very fun children's books from Little Green Books.

I am very excited to be able to share with you about them. The generous folks at Little Green Books is offering one reader a bundle of these 5 Eco friendly books.

Santa Claus Is Green!
How to Have an Eco-Friendly Christmas (Part of Little Green Books)
By Alison Inches
Illustrated by: Wednesday Kirwan
Our Price: $5.99
Review
I just love this title and my daughter was thrilled to be able to hear about Santa in April! In the spirit of Christmas giving, Santa shows boys and girls that they can give to others while giving back to the Earth -- and have fun while they're doing it! Simple things like riding bicycles to the store rather than taking a car, taking the tree to the community mulching center, using discarded newspapers for gift wrap, and making decorations and presents for one another rather than buying new ones, are all ways that kids can help Santa have a green Christmas. Printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper. I thought this is was a sweet story with helpful fun tips. We will definitely be putting these to practice in December. BONUS: It also includes a sheet of more than 20 stickers made from 10% recycled paper to help spread holiday cheer and environmental awareness. A great way to celebrate white and green Christmas!

This Is Our World
A Story About Taking Care of the Earth (Part of Little Green Books)
By Emily Sollinger
Illustrated by: Jo Brown
Our Price: $7.99

Review

Join the fun on this interactive journey while learning to clean the air, reduce pollution, recycle, and more. Nine double-sided puzzle pieces are included in this book so kids can create two different puzzles! I thought that this is an excellent book to show kids how they can help in their daily activities. It is also fun and colorfully illustrated!






The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle
A Story About Recycling (Part of Little Green Books)
By Alison Inches
illustrated by: Pete Whitehead
Our Price: $3.99

Review
This was my daughter's favorite book. Peek into this diary of a plastic bottle as it goes on a journey from the refinery plant, to the manufacturing line, to the store shelf, to a garbage can, and finally to a recycling plant where it emerges into it's new life...as a fleece jacket! It's not only very informative but fun and humorous as well. She just couldn't believe that a plastic bottle could be transformed in so many ways. You got to read this!




My First Garden
(Part of Little Green Books)
By Wendy Lewison
Illustrated by: Miki Sakamoto
Our Price: $6.99

Review
This book is in the shape of a basket where you learn to dig up soil, plant a flower bed, and water the seeds to make a first garden. Children learn their colors as they watch the vegetables grow. The handle can also be held to carry with them.


The Polar Bears' Home
A Story About Global Warming (Part of Little Green Books)
By Lara Bergen
Illustrated by: Vincent Nguyen
Our Price: $3.99

Review
Come along on an Arctic adventure with a little girl and her father and learn all about polar bears! This 8 x 8 storybook shows how global warming affects two baby polar bear cubs and their family. Includes tips for kids on what they can do to help slow down global warming.
I enjoyed the beautiful illustrations in this book. My daughter just loved the sweet bears and also learned about the environment, endangered animals, recycling, and much more.

So, read with your kids every day so that they can malama (take care) of this land they call home.
