Pairing aspects of eco-friendly living with each letter of the alphabet, this durable board bookis not only perfect for teaching young children their ABCs, but also for encouraging them to be aware of the impact they have on the environment. The content empowers young children, showing them that even their small choices make a big difference. The engaging illustrations, fun rhyming text, and simple concepts introduce children to an eco-friendly lifestyle. To help, kids can plant flowers for pollinating bees, eat more fruits and vegetables, share or swap old toys, help their parents air-dry laundry, and learn about animals and their habitats. Environmental terms throughout, such as "pollination," "biodegradable," "pollution," and "preservation," have easy-to-understand, kid-friendly definitions in the back of the book. A spread elaborating on additional things kids can do, such as riding a bike, creating a new toy from old stuff, and hunting for a unique pre-owned item at the thrift store, shows easy and fun ways to help out! ABC Earth-Friendly Me shows that every member of the family--even the smallest one--can protect our planet Earth. This is the perfect book to inspire the next generation of eco-conscious kids, while teaching them the alphabet at the same time. Learning the ABCs has never been so green and so much fun! With endearing illustrations and mindful concepts, the ABC for Me series pairs each letter of the alphabet with words that promote big dreams and healthy living.

PreS--This informative alphabet board book is a primer on environmentalism for the youngest learners and citizens. Each page provides a three-line paragraph that describes the spotlighted word and a lively illustration of the featured term. As with most titles in this genre and format, some of the chosen words and phrases are a bit of a reach, but they combine letter identification and environmental conservation in an age-appropriate, colorful way. VERDICT An excellent addition to classroom and library collections for alphabet practice and discussions about the environment and Earth Day.--Kate Olson, Bangor Sch. Dist., WI
