We can make our world a cleaner and healtheir place to live.

Part of Dorling Kindersley’s DK Readers series, Earth Smart is appropriate for children aged 7 to 9. Generously illustrated with photographs, it is rated “Level 2, Beginning to Read Alone.” Introducing ways we can help to look after the environment, content touches on recycling, a look at a landfill, disposing of toxic substances, reducing energy consumption, dangers of pollution and global warming, the benefits of enjoying local produce and ways trees help us.

This is a very good volume that details the small things that kids can do to help take care of our planet. This is ideal for children who ask for books on saving the earth, or to use in a display around Earth Day. ( )
