A simple go-to text for Earth Day, though not my favorite story in the world. It's a bit dry, but kids will listen to it all the same. (

This is a cute story themed around how to care for your things. I would use this book in my teaching to show children how important it is to take care of their possesions. I like this book because it demonstrates a careless attitude that is turned around and made right. I would recommend this book to grades K-3. (

Franklin has lost the tree sapling he was given for Earth Day, so he retraces his steps. Thanks to a bit of luck, he finds the sapling and proudly plants it in his backyard, hoping it will grow big enough for a tree house.
