Little Green Books sent me 5 different eco-friendly books that help teach children (and parents) the importance of recycling, helping keep our planet clean, pollution, global warming and more!I also think that it is wonderful that these books are made up of recycled materials...it reiterates the importance of recycling and what can be produced from it....a great lesson for children.
I received the following 5 books to review:
I Can Save the Ocean:
This book is all about how we can help save the ocean...I wanted Lilly to have this book because we live in California, very close to ocean and I think it is important to teach our kids to respect the ocean and keep it clean...Lakes too..I mean, I LOVE Lake Tahoe...it is unbelievably gorgeous but it wouldn't be that way if we didn't take care of it. Lilly is too young to understand all this now but we still read it to her now and will teach her when she is older. She did really seem to love the bright colors in this book.
This is Our World
I thought this was a great book to get because it shows our worlds cultural diversity. It also goes on to teach children about recycling, reducing pollution and more.
The Adventures of the Aluminum Can
This was a must have book for us. Recycling is important and I don't think that most people really understand what recycling entails. This books shows you exactly what happens in the recycling process. I love this book because both my husband and I are BIG into baseball. I went to college on a softball scholarship and he went to college to play baseball as well (we are both catchers too!)..anyhow...we know that baseball/softball is something that Lilly will be around and be introduced too so I think it would be really cool to teach her how that aluminum bat came to be!
Little Panda
This is by far Lilly's favorite book at this point. It is a soft, fleece book and she is absolutely enamored with the little Panda that is sewn on the front cover...she loves playing with the little ears that aren't sewn completely down...so she can fiddle with them...it keeps her entertained for quite some time!
And she even likes to cuddle with it and rest her head on it like a pillow...ADORABLE!!! =)
The Polar Bears' Home
I partially chose this book because I think polar bears are one of the cutest animals in the world...I just love them and I think most kids do too! But I also chose this book because it helps teach children about global warming. It is just another tool to use to help teach Lilly and other kids about global warming and what we can do to help.
