Written in a way that pre-schoolers will understand and yet gives a message that all ages should learn. An important book for the new generation.

A beautifully simple book for small children where transforming pages reveal ten things that everyone can do to help conserve their world. Many of them, such as turning off the television properly, walking to school and turning off lights when leaving a room, are about conserving energy. Others, such as feeding the birds in winter and growing plants from seed, will encourage an understanding of nature and conservation.

A great example of how even young readers can be educated as they are entertained. * Scripps Howard *
Not just a pretty book, this one puts it's reputation on the line by being made of 100% post consumer waste material, saving tons of trees, green house gases and energy. Hats off to Candlewick Press for another winner. * Gifted and Talented Books blog *

A practical and positive book about how children (and their grown-ups!) can do small but important things to help the world. From using both sides of paper when they are colouring to walking to school, each idea is illustrated with bright, well-designed artwork. -- Sarah Webb * Irish Independent *
