Various parts of the pages have been cut out to give it an extra layer of interest. It'd be a great addition to nursery and primary school libraries though.Įach page has a new idea for something you can do to help. Whilst it's not a preachy book, any time you try to convert someone, there's the possibility of conflict. I wonder whether that limits its audience somewhat though: children from green families will be doing it already as a matter of course, whereas giving it as a present to a non-green family could come across as preachy. All but the stubbornest climate change denier can get on board with the ideas. The message is clear and simple: don't be wasteful, resuse and recycle. What's more, the book is made from 100% recycled materials, making buying it an 11th thing you can do to help your world. Melanie Walsh's book introduces young children to simple things they can do to change the world, from switching lights off, to turning off the taps when brushing your teeth. It's never to early to start making a difference. The book itself is wonderful, but there's the possibility that those who'd enjoy it most will be doing everything in it already. Summary: An introduction to environmentalism for the youngest readers. ![]()
