The Helping the Environment series (6 titles) emphasizes reasonable, everyday choices young readers can make to minimize their impact on the environment. All the titles use the same basic four-chapter format, beginning with examples of individuals modeling earth-friendly actions. The second chapter explains how a variety of current behaviors has caused environmental harm and how low-income communities have been disproportionately affected by these actions. Next come solutions to a major, sometimes even global, scale, and the final chapter brings these solutions back down to the personal level. Each title also includes a special "That's Amazing" profile of a kid-friendly green project or kid innovator. Earth Friendly Energy introduces a girl who invented a propeller powered by ocean waves. Pages are filled with wide-spaced, easy-to-read text, colorful graphics, inset fact boxes, and fresh photos (the shots in Pollinator Gardens are especially effective). Back matter includes a quiz (from basic recall and vocabulary to open-ended, persuasive prompts), glossary, and grade-appropriate bibliography. There's also a link to a teacher-resource website. This handsome set will resonate and hopefully inspire young environmentalists.
