        One of my favorite ecologically-themed books for children is Chris Van Allsburg's Just A Dream. Walter pollutes, wastes, & doesn't care about the environment until he has a disturbing dream showing the extreme effects not caring for our earth can have. I used to always read it for Earth Day when I was an elementary school librarian. It was a great starting point for discussion with wonderful illustrations.

First Two Weeks: Eco-Reading: Books about Nature and the Environment.
 From picture books that invite appreciation for the natural world to action-oriented titles those for older children and teens that raise the red flag on global warming and climate change, we?ll spend the first part of June discussing books for children and teens about nature and the environment.
