The EARTH Book Hardcover – Picture Book, March 17, 2010

Great

I read this book to my PreK students on Earth Day. They loved it and asked for it to be read over and over. We love Todd Parr!💗

This book puts out educating little ones in doing what's right to save the earth in a very simple way. Illustrations and written content are captivating.

Super cute book for earth day. All 3 of my kids(2,4,7), loved it and it got them talking about ways to help earth!

Another fantastic book from popular children's author Todd Parr. His unique style of colorful illustrations and simple text are a smash hit with preschool and kindergarten audiences every time. This is the perfect book to read to your preschool or kindergarten class or child on Earth Day. Each page highlights one way young children can help make the world a better place followed by a "because" statement. Adding because statements makes the message in this book even more powerful. It's not about just telling kids to do something, but also giving them the reasons why it's important; therefore it becomes more meaningful to them. Parr also has a great sense of humor and knows his audience well as evidenced by the mention of underwear in the detachable poster that is included on the last page of the book. The Earth Book is sure to become a favorite with your child or class as they squeal with delight at the very thought of putting their underwear in the refrigerator!

This is so good and the message given is so beautiful

Cuuuuute! I have a few small bones to pick, if you're particular like me you might care.1) I don't like the line about eating everything on your plate- I don't think that's an awfully healthy way to look at food. I do like that it says to save your leftovers. We'll focus on that part when we read it.2) I wish that the bit about water conservation had a justification that was a little more direct- saving water is not really about keeping the ocean blue. Everything else seems to be much more directly connected, and I feel the author could have done a little bit better on that particular bit.Really these are small complaints, we'll definitely keep the book. I think it does an excellent job of helping kids realized that they can do a lot to help take care of the earth, and my son LOVES the pictures.

Why is it difficult to find recycled paper books? There are a few that can be found, then the list drops off. I like not just reading about how to take care of the earth, I want that product to have already done it. This book is colorful and lively, our two year old likes it.
