Description:... As environmental concerns become more and more important, teachers and librarians are looking for effective ways to teach children to appreciate nature and conserve resources. Over 200 selections from children's literature with characters who respect the environment are presented in this guide. The books are grouped in five basic genres (contemporary fiction, folk literature, historical fiction, biographies and fanciful fiction). Entries include full bibliographic data, a descriptive annotation and an indication of the appropriate grade level. Target activities that reinforce the work's theme are also provided for each title.
