  • "True to form for a former children's librarian, Wesson has written this accessible bibliography as a resource of what she considers the best environmental books for anyone working with children. . . . This is a well-researched guide for anyone creating earth-conscious programs and units. It is ideal for school and public libraries."

Description: Looking for a book on conservation for your storytime read-aloud? A title on recycling projects for your 5th graders? What about information sources on pollution to add to your collection? This guide can help you with challenges like these—and many others. It organizes and describes some 450 current fiction and nonfiction titles about the environment, with some alternative media (DVDs and musical CDs) included, as well.

Green Reads: Best Environmental Resources for Youth, K-12 is divided into five chapters, each dedicated to a broad environmental subject. Annotations are arranged first by whether they are nonfiction or fiction and then by age ranges and authors. For each title, you'll find complete bibliographic information, a list of subjects, and codes that denote whether the book is "heart-filled, fun, and lively in tone"; contains substantive factual information; or features hands-on, "what-you-can-do-about-it" information. This is a thorough and versatile source—a must-purchase for school and public libraries.
