ABC for Me: ABC Earth-Friendly Me: Volume 7

Description

ABC Earth-Friendly Me presents 26 things-from Action to Zero waste and everything in between-that eco-conscious kids and their families can do to help care for the earth. Pairing aspects of eco-friendly living with each letter of the alphabet, ABC Earth-Friendly Me is not only perfect for teaching young children their ABCs, but also for encouraging them to be aware of the impact they have on the environment. The content empowers young children, showing them that even their small choices make a big difference. And the engaging illustrations and simple concepts introduce children to an eco-friendly lifestyle. To help, kids can plant flowers for pollinating bees, eat more fruits and vegetables, share or swap old toys, help their parents air-dry laundry, and learn about animals and their habitats. Environmental terms throughout, such as "pollination," "biodegradable," "pollution," and "preservation," have easy-to-understand, kid-friendly definitions in the back of the book. And a spread elaborating on additional things kids can do, such as riding a bike, creating a new toy from old stuff, and hunting for a unique pre-owned item at the thrift store, are easy and fun ways to help out! ABC Earth-Friendly Me shows that every member of the family-even the smallest one-can protect our planet Earth. This is the perfect book to inspire the next generation of eco-conscious kids, while teaching them the alphabet at the same time. Learning the ABCs has never been so green and so much fun! With endearing illustrations and mindful concepts, the ABC for Me series pairs each letter of the alphabet with words that promote big dreams and healthy living.
