My kids would like that book. It’s great to have books about the environment.

Oh my son would love this book. We have been searching our library for books on people doing good things for the environment as a Cub Scout project. They earn a patch/badge for environmental world awareness. :)

You requested people post to do follow-ups, and so that is what I am doing. I found your page in another blog “Conserve Plastic Bags”.

Would love to be in for the book. Not thrilled about the product placements. My kids already think we are poor because we do not have cable.cs

This one isn’t a children’s book, but have you seen “Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things,” by McDonough and Braungart? It was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m eagerly awaiting for it to become available in one of our libraries (it’s checked out of everywhere right now). From what I hear, the book’s actual production and publication embody the principles it advocates: making a product which can be recycled into something of the same quality, rather than downcycled (hence “cradle to cradle” rather than “cradle to grave”). I will be interested to see it, and would be interested in your thoughts on it if you were ever to review it.

You are one tough critic! :) Even though the books weren’t perfect I love that more and more awareness is being generated. Plus hey if your brother’s a children’s book illustrator, maybe you should write a book and he could illustrate it!?! :) His pictures were beautiful.

Oh My Freakin' Goodness. Ads in BOOKS?!?!? Is nothing freakin' sacred to these advertisers?!?!?! Unbelievable.

Thanks for the heads up. Will check out the link.

Don't need the bag book, my kiddos already LOVE taking our own bags! :-)

perhaps we can expect sequels? as in michael’s siblings- bruce the reducer and suze the reuser?
as always beth, great job on your reviews and on keeping us informed.
