I've started making small changes around the house here with my own kids regarding going green. There are so many easy things which can be done which really don't translate into a massive lifestyle change. But I don't think I've talked to the kids enough about going green. I guess I hope they'll duplicate what I already do.One thing we do hear about routinely are hybrid vehicles. The reason for this is twofold. One, because we live in Iowa and there is a lot of talk about ethanol. Hubby is also in the automotive industry so they hear their dad talking a lot about hybrid cars and E-85 cars because of what he does for a living.
I was anxious to read William is Going Green because I'm not sure what kind of information my girls, who are somewhat younger, are absorbing about going green. I sat down with Emersyn to read the story and she did enjoy it.
Her favorite parts were when William rescues Gage the cat, and when William gets a new green paint job. She did note that his smoky engine was not a good development and was happy for William when he got a new engine.
If you have smaller kids that you'd like to read some stories to with some lessons about being more earth-friendly, your child may enjoy William and his cat friend Gage. My own kids have loved Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine. William the Garbage Truck & Crew may very well appeal to this same group of kids.
