By Melissa Miller - Usborne Books & More Consultant April 19, 2012
With Earth Day right around the corner, now is a fine time to stock up on books that will help kids (and adults) understand how even little choices we make every day can add up to a big impact for Mother Earth. Here are a few suggestions:

Why Should I Bother About the Planet
This book has great tips that just about all of us can implement to shrink our eco footprint.

See Inside Planet Earth  Award Winner! 
 This interactive book has over 80 flaps to lift and discover amazing facts about our planet, climate change, and environmental tips,  from recycling to my favorite: “Don’t rush to flush!”
 
Recycling Things to Make and Do
 This book will reinforce the notion that trash can be turned into fun and useful items. From paper towel tubes to magazines to scraps of foil you will learn to make robots, mobiles, gift bags and so much more!
