This book lists ten actions for young children to help protect our earth. Some are practical, such as give my old toys away, but others are more esoteric, such as grow watercress in empty egg shells. It does cause one to think about all the plastic we throw away and remember to take your trash away from the public beach.

The book has a very simple format with one page stating, “I help …” or “I pick out…” followed by actions, such as “my mom pack leftovers for my lunch.” or “vegetables at the local market.” Sturdy die cut pages create interest and the illustrations are bold and eye-catching. A thoughtful presentation for preschoolers.
