Review and Giveaway: What's It Like Living Green? By Jill Ammon Vanderwood

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!
What's It Like, Living Green? By Jill Ammon Vanderwood


What the book says: These days,there's a lot of talk about living green, but does anyone actually do it? In What's It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live, you'll learn how other kids live green, along with tips as simple as putting on a sweater rather than turning up the heat. You'll see how kids like you can make a difference. Read about a teenage girl who learned to drive with a car fueled by used cooking grease. Learn about a boy who raised funds to build his first well to provide clean water for a whole village when he was only seven years old. You will learn simple ways to help the environment, help others, and even earn some money. For Ages 9 and up--Printed on 30% Post Consumer Paper

About the Author:
Jill Ammon Vanderwood is a mother and grandmother who wants to make a difference for the youth of today. She spends much of her time visiting schools, reading to kids and teaching writing assignments.

Here's what I think:
This book is geared toward kids ages 9 and up and is a very easy and fun read. Facilitated by Jill, kids teach other kids how to live a greener life, by living a green life. The book is chock full of easy and interesting ways to live green as well as why it's important. This book will be the perfect gift for Earth Day!

  2. We have involved our children in the planting and care of our gardens. We also showed them that planting trees, mainly fruit trees also help us and the environment.
