On Susty.com we found a variety of children’s books that parents can use to begin teaching their children early about going green. The Three R’s: Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, which is written by Nuria Roca and illustrated by Rosa M. Curto “describes ways in which kids and their families can avoid waste and be environmentally conscious.” At the end of the book there are four pages with activities for kids which are followed by 2 pages for parents. These pages have tips to help parents explain going green to their children. In addition to this book, we found the following others books, videos and an online game to help to “green your children.”

Thanks for offering some more choices for kids’ reading. I just finished a series that started with a post on OUR CLASS IS GOING GREEN, by Scholastic. The children who wrote the book all commented and we had a good time talking about their ideas. Children are much more open minded to these changes that we are as adults. It’s awesome.
Nice post.
