Miss Fox's Class Goes Green

September 1, 2009
K-Gr 2-Spinelli and Kennedy speak to nascent environmentalists in a lighthearted tone while still stressing why it is important to "go green." Miss Fox and her students have constructive conversations, share conservation tips, and make informed choices about using energy. The colorful watercolor and ink illustrations go hand in hand with the lively presentation."Sarah O'Holla, Village Community School, New York City"

Grades K-2 Sometimes books about doing the right thing can seem, well, tedious. But not so with the books about Miss Foxs class. This time out, the subject is helping the environment. When her students see Miss Fox biking to work, they want to know if her car has a flat tire. When she explains about going green, the students have all sorts of eco-friendly ideas of their own. The best part of this, besides Kennedys exuberant watercolor pictures, is the way the kids consider their actions. Its great to get a new pair of gym shoes, but Squirrel realizes, There is still a lot of fun-and-run in my old sneakers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
