false 3289379 1 <DIV>Author Alyson Beaton and illustrator K. J. Bradley created <I>Grow</I> to take a child (2 to 5 years of age) through a typical day, implementing a "normal" routine that is environmentally and socially sound. The sharply designed book helps parents teach children very early on how easy it is to take steps for a cleaner earth. The text focuses on words like "share" and "grow" to instill basic social concepts that resound in larger impacts, and the images encourage the child to actively participate in the daily routine and timeline that follows along the bottom of the pages. <I>Grow</I> was based on the developmental findings of Clotaire Rapaille, which note that as a child's vocabulary develops, he or she makes connections to specific items. For example, if a child associates the word "coffee" with "Starbucks" the word "Starbucks" will likely be an association for life. <I>Grow</I> hopes to instill brandless, positive routines that can benefit community, health, and an awareness of self that's connected to the larger world.</DIV> 3325841 1 3 2008 Grow: An Environmentally Friendly Book total:4|5:3|3:1| 4 18 9 1 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 5 0 false Wed Sep 03 21:25:57 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 21:39:47 -0700 2008 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 0 0 false Fri Jul 10 04:09:07 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 04:09:07 -0700 2009 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 3 0 false Thu Jun 11 07:46:59 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 07:46:59 -0700 2009 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 0 0 false Fri Mar 27 09:56:03 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 09:56:03 -0700 2009 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 0 0 false Thu Sep 04 22:31:39 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 22:31:39 -0700 2008 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 0 0 false Thu Sep 04 18:09:23 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 18:09:23 -0700 2008 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 5 0 false Thu Sep 04 09:15:13 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 09:15:13 -0700 2008 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 0 0 false Thu Sep 04 07:10:39 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 07:10:39 -0700 2008 3289379 0977199266 9780977199266 4 1 4.50 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3289379.Grow_An_Environmentally_Friendly_Book 5 0 false Wed Sep 03 21:49:14 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 21:49:14 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3289379
