Enjoy this arctic adventure about a little girl and her father, and learn all about polar bears! Find out how you can help the polar bears by slowing down global warming. This is my little one’s favorite since he really likes polar bears.
What Do You See? A Lift-the-Flap Book About Endangered Animals
This rhyming text entices young readers to guess which endangered species are hiding beneath each flap! What kid doesn’t like a lift-the-flap book? I loved the illustrations in this book; very cute! Plus, this one is made from 100% recycled material.
The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle
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 its new life…as a fleece jacket! My seven-year-old liked this book, he liked seeing what happens when we recycle a bottle.
Earth Day is April 22…. here are a few tips that you can do every day from Little Green Books:
- Print it twice. Don’t throw away paper you’ve printed off from the computer. Turn it over and put it back in the printer’s paper tray. Now you can print on the other side.
- Fold it up. Fold up a reusable, lightweight bag and take it with you to the store, library, school, or wherever you might need a bag. This way, you won’t have to use a plastic bag to carry your things
- Let the sunshine in. Before turning on a light, open blinds and drapes to let in sunlight from the windows. Use natural light instead of electricity as much as possible.
