Little Green Books {Giveaway!} CLOSED

January 18, 2010 65

I love children’s books, they are one of my passions. I have been collecting them since I was a young adult. In fact, one of the first gifts that Mr. Sweet Greens ever bought me was a subscription to the Dr. Seuss Club. I was so excited, how lovely to receive 2 Dr. Seuss books in the mail each month, no? I have also started to write two or three children’s books over the years, one was about my cat ‘Toby’ {who is now 16 years old} and one was about a Rhinoceros couple who counted animals for fun. The truth is, one of my life goals is to either write a children’s book or own a children’s bookstore. {There is still time!}

So when I received a set of Little Green Books in the mail to review, I have to admit I was a giddy and couldn’t wait to sit down and devour them all. The results:: They are fantastic and a must have for any home. Especially if, you have been looking for a way to get your little ones excited about going green. If your children are already excited, then maybe you have been looking for a great way to teach them more about recycling, reusing, endangered animals, gardening or global warming. If so, Little Green Books is your solution. Little Green Books is a new Eco-friendly series from Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division. Each book in the Little Green Books series is devoted to educating children about the benefits that going green will bring.

Eben and I have really enjoyed our set of Little Green Books. We love the ideas that the books teach, the process in which they teach {such as how an aluminum can is recycled} is entertaining and just plain fun. We love the color and illustration and that every book is made from 100% post consumer waste recycled paper and printed with either veggie or soy ink. {Fantastic!} The Little Green Books series is also super affordable and will fit almost any budget. These would also make lovely gifts for Valentine’s Day, Earth Day or birthdays. Eben really enjoyed the ‘Easy to be Green’ book because it is full of simple activities that are prefect for his age {8}. He is super interested in saving the environment and this book made learning new ways to help, fun.

Little Green Books are geared towards newborns {age 0} to children up to age of 8. Every Little Green Book has a full glossary of terms to help children and adults alike learn the meaning of new words that they may not be familiar with. This makes explaining the ideas in the book with your children easier. For example, if you don’t know how to explain ‘post consumer waste’ to your little one, Little Green Books has you covered, just flip to the glossary and go.

Also, the Green Little Books website is full of downloadable activities that you can do with your children this winter. There are activity pages, games, green tips, challenges and kits that are perfect for Earth Day or anyday. How fun is that?

Little Green Books has been so lovely to offer ONE of my readers a 5 pack of Little Green Books. Isn’t that wonderful? The winner will receive ‘Don’t Throw That Away!’, ‘My First Garden’, ‘Easy Being Green’, ‘What Do You See?’, and ‘The Adventures of an Aluminum Can.’

A big hug to Little Green Books for hosting this fantastic giveaway.
*UPDATE: WINNER:: #8 Jenny. Congratulations, I hope your little one enjoys the books.

    My two and a half year old is starting to read (she recognizes letters and sounds and short words). I really want her to start reading more green books though. We have one that was free from the Cheerios (Ballyhoo Bay). She loves that one because it has all the animals. It is about this artist who teaches art class at the beach to the animals that is threatened by a huge condo development. She loves animals. She would love the What do you see? flap book about endangered animals. I want to start incorporating more green messages and these books would be great.

    I think my girls would love the Easy to Be Green: Simple Activities You Can Do to Save the Earth book. My daughter’s preschool teacher told me the other day that my daughter requested the lights be turned off in her classroom so that the electricity would not be wasted! I am so proud! She is only four and already trying to make better decisions for the earth! Thank you for the chance!
