This is a great and very visually engaging book that will help even the youngest kids understand why it's important to turn off the lights, turn off the water when brushing teeth, etc. I think it'd be a good choice for a storytime on environmentalism or nature - it would be a short, quick palate cleanser between two longer stories. Also some of the pages are die-cut, adding more visual interest. Really a good book for the toddler set. ( )

I love this book! With its bright colors, double-spread illustrations, lift-the-flaps, and simple messages, it's a real winner!
Even the youngest of listeners can rally to the environmental cause with this eye-catching book. The simplest of messages can be read to the very young,

"I use... [lift the flap] both sides of the paper."

in smaller print, (artfully positioned to become part the illustration) there is a slightly more complex message,

"If everybody did this, it would greatly reduce the number of trees we use to make paper."

This book is fun with a purpose! Check it out! ( )
