Summary:
This informational book is very interesting, as the author expresses the meaning of how important green thing are. The reaction of people toward things that are green, does it mean for a person to love the green plants, riding around and felling sick in the car. Do we have to be a frog, pickle or an alien to know that green means. This informational book is saying that to be green we have to utilize electricity only when we need it. People need to buy more local food, especially the ones that we grow ourselves because chemicals are not used when we grow them. People need to realize the exercising is good for the health so walking places is much better than driving in a car. Using plastic containers to pack our food or lunch when ever we take food to work, picnics or other places instead of using paper plates. People need to realize how important it is not to litter anywhere, picking up the rubbish when we see it along side the road, at the beaches and parks. Putting and placing recycling bottles, plastics, and paper in its proper place. When it rains, save water in a bin so it could be used to shower, brushing teeth instead of turning on the water hose,or living on, and not wasting paper by using both sides instead of one side. Whenever we have more clothes than what we really need, pass them down or give them away to those who need clothes. Being green is doing whatever we can to protect the earth's precious resources.

The author expresses very important issues and various ways of how the people can help save the environment and care for their surroundings, as well as helping others in sharing some of the things we have with those who are not so fortunate.

Used in the Library:
This is a great book to utilize in the library for children to have a short skit play and discussions on the subject. Students will have a part to play so they will understand how important it is to save some of the most important things that we sometimes take for granted such as water, clothes, and food. Discussion about the earth's environment will be discussed and questions will be answered.
