Two brand-new features have been added: a list of Internet web sites about the environment and a 116-page, illustrated teacher's guide, chock-full of special classroom resources, especially created to accompany "Earth Child 2000".

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource for parents and teachers, Mar 29 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Earth Child 2000: Earth Science for Young Children (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for parents and educators who wish to develop environmental awareness in young children. It is filled with LOTS of activities, stories, songs, and resources which help children to establish a spiritual connection with the earth and all its creatures. Through reading this book and utilizing its ideas, parents, teachers, and the children in their care can't help but develop a greater respect for the world around them. I have also found the Dream Starter section in each chapter to be an excellent relaxation tool for myself as well as my children.
