This is a great little tale to introduce the concept of environmental protection or the green moveme

All the animal children looked VERY surprised when they saw Mrs. Fox driving to the school on her bicycle. She had a little basket in the front to carry her pocket book and whatever else she needed for school. Of course she had on her helmet. The children started to ask questions and wanted to know just why she wasn't driving her car. She said that "cars pollute the air" and she was only going to drive when necessary. "I'm going green." It sounded like something that the rest of the class would be interested in and they had a little discussion and decided to go for it . . . green that is. Mrs. Fox wrote some goals on the blackboard: 1. Use less stuff-recycle 2. Use less energy. 3. Use less water. Some of the children joked around. "I can stop taking showers," said Frog. Squirrel claimed he could save paper by not doing his homework. After the silliness they got around to business and became more serious. They could turn off lights when leaving a room, sharpen crayons, take shorter showers, use heavier blankets instead of turning up the heat, have a toy exchange and use things like sneakers until they wore out. Squirrel really wanted to "Super-flash Bubble-soled Buzzard sneakers," but decided against it. Were Raccoon, Mouse, Frog, Squirrel, Bunny, Bear, Possum and the other kids at school really going to be able to go green? This is a great little tale to introduce the concept of environmental protection or the green movement to your own children or classroom. This book makes a serious issue fun, entertaining and instructive. The storyline was chipper and I enjoyed the way the classroom got together, both at home and at school, to achieve a goal. The artwork was very vibrant and the animal characters were very appealing. The end pages have many little suggestions about going green such as "Carry your lunch in a reusable bag or sack." If you are thinking of "going green" at home or school, this book would be a perfect one to introduce to your own youngster or classroom . . . that is if they aren't already trying to get you to go green!
