The Horn Book Review
Earth-Friendly Shopping

These books overlap in information, emphasizing carrying reusable water bottles and shopping bags and buying greener cleaning supplies. Shopping also discusses energy-efficient appliances and toys while Living includes facts about composting and recycling. The information that's there is useful but it's also incomplete. Pertinent, well-captioned images appear alongside less relevant stock photos. "It's a Fact!" sidebars are included. Glos., ind.

Gr 3-4-Although the majority of adults pictured on the covers detract from these books' kid appeal, the age-appropriate texts convey basic environmental concepts like the greenhouse effect, sustainability, recycling, and conservation. Readers will also be able to follow food's path from farm to table or a plastic bottle from production to disposal and learn how traditional methods of farming, traveling, and consumption can harm the environment. Each spread has bright, captioned color photos. While there are doable suggestions for being Earth conscious, such as turning off the water while brushing teeth, taking reusable bags to the store, and checking a product's label, these titles serve better as resources for reports than as handbooks for living green.-Joanna K.
