A Child Should Turn off the Lights when he Leaves the Room

This is one of Joy Berry's "Survival Series for Kids" books and I have to confess that my son Devon and I like them all. I've had them in storage for years, way before Devon was a twinkle in my eye, or my gal Sara's, and I'm glad I saved them. In this book Ms. Berry and illustrator Bartholomew, with your help, will teach your child about why he or she should turn off the lights when they leave the room. Your child will learn a little about conservation and why it's important and let me tell you in these days of rising gas prices, electric bills, water bills and heating bills you can't get your child thinking about using less soon enough. Less can be good. Sara and I want our son Devon to grow up appreciating our green world, not abusing and using it, especially not needlessly. Wasting is bad and a child cannot learn that early enough. Yes this is a book for a child bigger that a toddler, however my toddler and I like it just fine. Get 'em started early, that's my motto. Though this book was written over twenty years ago, it still stands up. The excellent comic book type illustrations will keep your child interested as you read along with him or her. And for the life of me I don't know why these books are not easier to get. Joy Berry is good for children, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. If you can get a hold of her books and share them with your child, you'll both be better for it.
