Tod Parr’s The Earth Book , looks like it has been illustrated by kids, in a professional kind of way! Love the fact that the two children holding up the earth on the front cover are wearing odd shoes.
It is a colorful, simple, very kid-friendly and persuasive look at the reasons we look after the planet. We love trees because we “want the owls to have a place to live” is a compelling example. Some of the extrapolation, however, may be a little understated for the younger reader, for ...more

This is an awesome book to read with young children about the Earth! It gives concrete examples of how we can be careful in our homes and schools to save energy. It also has a bunch of cause and effect pieces, explaining how if we turn down the furnace, we can save energy and put on a sweater to stay warm instead.

Another one of Todd Parr's excellent books to teach character. This book is great to teach citizenship, especially in the context of honoring Earth Day. Kirkus' Review states that "the structural format works well to bring complex issues such as global warming into a simple context that kids can connect with." Although the language is simple, the issues are complex so I would use this well any grade, K-5!
Great book with bright and colorful pictures and a good message to children. It's an excellent book about simple ways kids can make a difference on the earth such as, using both sides of the paper and reusing bags. This story would be perfect for children 5-8. It could even be useful for adults to read to remind them of simple ways to help the environment.
Very simple environmental/conservation messages are offered (shut the refrigerator door, don't litter) to a youthful audience.
The illustrations are atrocious, but the message is good. Read this one to very young children who can absorb the very simple environmental tips without being distracted by the scribbling that passes for artwork.

This is a great book. It is a great tool to teach students the importance of recycling. I love Parr's style of writing. The illustrations were great also. I will use this book for a science lesson. It is an easy read for young students. Students can understand how important it is to use our resources wisely and save the Earth.
Todd Parr is a great author. I love his style of writing and his engaging illustrations. I used this book for a science lesson and it was very effective. It is an easy read for young studnets so that they can understand how important it is to use our resources wisely and reserve what to can in order to save the Earth.
This is a great book for young children to start learning about recycling. Parr writes in a way that is fun for children to read. The illustrations are bright and colorful. This book will pull kids right in. Classrooms can start a recycling project within their class. This will give the children a chance to be hands on and see things in action.

I love all of the Todd Parr books that I've read and this book is no exception. This book presents conservation in a way to is easily accessible to children. I highly recommend this book.
Perfect book for one on one or group to illustrate how child can help the environment.
I know they are sweet and sappy, but I love the simple truths in Todd Parr's books.
Typical Parr book in style. A simple look at the enviroment and conservation.
Sticky sweet book about ecology for little kids. Bleah.
Great book about conservation for 3 yrs-K.
Just received and read THE EARTH BOOK by Todd Parr. It's a wonderful way to share Earth Day with young children. I can hardly wait to read it to my 3 year old grandson and my 7-8 year old second graders. They all love Todd Parr and will be very excited to see this brand new book! Great read!!!!!!
