Jen GreenWhy Should I Save Water?: Environmental Picture Book about Sustainability for Kids (Back-to-School and Homeschool Supplies) (Why Should I? Books)

Love this book

Water conservation -2nd graders were surprised and engaged about all the facts/impactful/relevant moments that they can help change to improve protecting water!

This bookis such an easy read. My kids enjoyed listening to it and seemed to learn new things. It is written very appropriately for younger children to understand the content. I will be buying the other books by this author.

I needed a book to read about water conservation during a school unit on Saving the Earth and this was PERFECT! The words and illustrations are so well done and very child friendly. The kids who read this won't have a problem understanding and relating.. buy this if you are looking for such a book. LOVED.

I work for a Water Conservation District in Texas. As part of my job, I frequently get asked to go into the schools and work with students to help them understand our water resources as well as how to conserve and protect them. I usually try to incorporate the water cycle and why it is important and give several ways to conserve our resources. This book is awesome. It is fun and kids really enjoy it. I use this book with I am talking with 3-8 year olds.

Good text

I wasn't too thrilled that neighbor Kristy only started saving water because it was mandated. However, it is a great book to discuss why we should ALWAYS conserve water. I most recently read this to my kinder class on a rainy day! We wondered if it would be ok to waste water on rainy days as well, we shared ways we save water in our home, we now want our own water barrel for our school, and we loved the illustrations.Unlike a previous reviewer I don't believe that we should teach children to conserve because it costs money. It's like saying rich folks don't need to worry about the environment, and money is an abstract concept at the this age anyway. I understand that teaching the water cycle and this at the same time may be confusing. However, if we continue to waste and pollute water it WILL run out one day. The documentary Tapped is a great resource for adults wanting to learn more about water.

I bought this book to use with a "water conservation" lesson for third graders. It is perfect for explaining why we should conserve water and giving a few examples of how to conserve.

great teaching about conservation

Bought this to help with a conservation topic. Lots f information in the story. Nice clear pictures with lots to talk about.

Helpful story telling with a purpose.
