From the Publisher:
School Library Journal review:
"With the goal of encouraging children to increase their knowledge of the environment as they build on their language-arts proficiency, Roberts has compiled an annotated bibliography complete with integrated home and school activities. The chapters are organized according to language-arts areas, focusing on involving children in language, listening, folk literature, reading, and speaking. Divided by age level (5-8 and 9-14), each section lists several books that foster environmental awareness along with plot summaries and related activities. The names and addresses of environmental organizations and a list of periodicals that publish children's work are included. A valuable resource." -- School Library Journal/March 1999
