This is a great book to read for earth day in any grade. The students can even mimic the art in the book by using paper mache and paint to create healthy environments for plants and/or animals.

It is also a great book to examine for its rhyming nature and structure. And, now that the movie is out, the students can expand on this book by adding the life cycle of a tree which is included in the movie. I have seen this book read on Earth day. The students wrote statements for what they plan on doing to protect the environment. Recommended grade levels: K-5(less)
