Five Kid-Friendly Earth Day Books
Wednesday, 20 April 2011 | by Pat's Picks
Friday is Earth Day—the first one since the BP oil spill. And to mark the occasion, the Washington Post put together five kid-friendly books on the environment. I was impressed with the Post’s curating. Staff writer Julie Eilperin explains to her young audience that “at its best, environmental writing can illuminate the world around us; at its worst, it is preachy and dull.” She chooses books on topics ranging from the depletion of the world’s fishing stocks to a primer on environmental activism.
