Summary (from Goodreads): Children learn to protect the environment and respect nature through recycling, home energy conservation and neighborhood clean-ups. Through accompanying Bible verses, they are encouraged to be responsible stewards of God’s creation.
My Thoughts: The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautiful. They are colorful and fun to look at. The message of the book is a good one, that we need to care for the earth God created just as we’d care for ourselves and the rest of God’s creation. But, I do think it’s a bit heavy-handed in places, but I think that might just be my own feelings on this subject getting in the way. This is a great book for kids that will help them learn the importance of caring for our world. I think my 7-year-old would really enjoy reading this book.
My Rating: 3 stars
