Earth Day Birthday
Set to the familiar tune "The Twelve Days of Christmas", this book is a fun, read-along-sing-along.
There are several different animals featured in the book such as the bald eagle, seals, panthers, whales and many more. All of which are shown in their natural habitat.
The final page spells out, to even the youngest readers, the message that the author is trying to convey. "On the day known as Earth Day, as every day should be, we care for creatures as our family." When I was done reading it to my daughter we both sat and thought for a silent moment. I then asked her what that meant to her, and she replied, "It means that we should take care of all the animals all the time." Ah, and this proud mom agrees!
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd each year, but this book encourages us to give thanks to the earth everyday!
The illustrations for Earth Day Birthday are quite something. They are wonderful lifelike renditions of all the different animals featured in this book.
A pleasure to read and to look at!
