Celebrate Earth Day – read your children a book

Earth day will be here in a few days and now is a good time to head to the library and pick up a few books to share with your children about why it is important to take care of the Earth.

One of my favorite books on the subject is Earth: Where Would We Be Without It? (Look-Look). This book is a Golden Book and is geered toward preschoolers but an elementary student would find lots of new words in it to read as well.

The ideas covered in this book are water conservation, recycling, trash removal, energy conservation, rain forests and a lot more. This book is packed with ideas for conserving resources and has many places to jump out of the book and into some hands-on learning or field trips.

My teen had this book and I will use it again with my pre-schoolers. Just a favorite to pass along.
