Earth Day is a great day to talk more about the Earth and why we need to keep it clean with our children. I love using eco-minded books to help get the message across to my daughter. When I tell her to turn off the lights, save water and recycle her trash she thinks I'm just bossing her around. But when I explain why we do those things, with a little help from cute cartoon books, she enjoys helping and wants to do her part. Here are our favorite six children's books for Earth Day. Our suggestion: Instead of buying these titles, borrow them from your local library.
I Can Save the Earth
I Can Save the Earth by Little Green Books is probably my daughter’s favorite. Max the little green monster is messy and doesn’t care about his impact on the earth. Then one night there is a blackout which gets Max to go outside. He then discovers things in nature he had never seen before and this changes his life. Max wakes up the next day and tries to do his part in taking care of the earth.
