Good to be Green: Save and Mend

Description

Explore green issues through engaging stories with relatable characters who show children what they can do to help the planet. In this environmental education story, Molly wants to have a clear-out of her toys and finds out why it's not a good idea just to put them in the bin, and what she can do instead. The story is a great resource for helping children understand what happens to waste and how we can reduce, reuse and recycle. Good to be Green is a series of six environmental education books that help children aged 6+ explore green issues and find out what they can do to help the planet. Each book features the story of a child who is exploring their world and learning why it's important to think green. Alongside the stories are fact boxes with extra information and at the end of each story there are activity ideas, teaching notes and a quiz. Each story is accompanied by bright illustrations by award-winning illustrator, Diane Ewen.
