Books
A book (or two or three) before bed is a time-honored tradition that parents often love as much as their kids. For babies, the book’s message isn’t as important as the snuggle time with Mom or Dad, but you can still give your tot a green start with one of our five favorite eco-friendly books or babies. For older kids, try The Green Mother Goose, Saving the World One Rhyme at a Time. Well-known nursery rhymes are reimagined in this clever book: “This Little Piggy” uses windpower and recycles, and “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe” renovates her pad the ecofriendly way with CFLs and solar panels. The book itself is made from paper from FSC certified sources. The Lorax isn’t exactly bedtime themed, but it’s a favorite from Dr.Seuss and features a strong environmental message.
