Going Green

As an environmentalist, I want children to begin thinking about protecting the environment at as young an age as possible. The Going Green series helps to educate young readers while also showing them the practical uses of scientific knowledge and technology. The editors sum up their objective this way: “In this eco-friendly new series, children are about to discover the ways people are protecting Earth and its precious resources.”This colorful book is filled with interesting illustrations and photos. It’s aimed at the third grade reader but can be read with interest by students in grades 2 through 7. It’s a small book but is packed with useful information. The editors note that it’s sure to engage young environmentalists as they learn all about the current efforts to make their planet greener—and they’ll discover ways that they can help, too!
