Teach Your Tot to Love the Planet
The remarkable thing about Love Your World: How To Take Care of the Plants, the Animals, and the Planet is not that it's made with vegetable inks, low-carbon printing, and paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
It's not that it conveys messages about recycling and conservation in charming kid-friendly rhymes. It's not that each page is loaded with eye-candy colors that should inspire a line of children's clothes, dishes, or gardening tools.
The remarkable thing about this book is that it only seems to be a cute, fluffy kids' book. In fact, it's a toddler manifesto. After reading this book to the preschooler in your life, you'd better be ready to put up a birdhouse, plant a garden, and stop using plastic bags.
See especially the page that promises "And each one of us will get a star when we go somewhere without our car." Be ready to buy several sheets of gold stars, because you'll be walking a lot after reading this book.
