When Santa Turned Green

What a FANTASTIC way to teach kids about Global Warming! Great pics - especially the page with all Santa's suits hanging in the closet - a ton of green ones and 1 red one. Terrific tips for conserving energy and helping the planet. We loaned ours around the neighbourhood and had kids write their comments in the cover.

Our 3'rd grade son loves this book, especially with the hand puppet. It is one of a very few that he willingly reads aloud. The story provides an environmental twist to a familiar story.

I purchased this book three weeks ago for my two older grandchildren - ages 5 and 3. After reading it, I re-ordered it for my 2 year old grandson and another copy for a friend's pre school children. I am a retired pre school teacher ( with a degree in literature) and was in charge of the school library selections. This book is on target with the current global situation - a great way to get children involved in their future. I showed the book to several of my teacher friends and they were impressed.

This is a fun little book that puts a new twist on teaching kids how to care for the environment. It reiterates that they are our future, and the decisions they make can change the world.
