Bold graphics and minimal text introduce young children to ten “eco tips,” such as remembering to turn off the light when you leave a room. With each tip, there is a one-sentence explanation as to why this is important. For example, “Turning off lights and using more efficient light bulbs saves valuable energy” (n.p.). This is a good introduction for young children on becoming environmentally conscious and living an eco-friendly life. It may also encourage them to put some of the tips into action in their classrooms, schools, homes, and neighborhoods . ca
