Zombie-Kids Go Green: Julia DweckJulia Dweck has written a number of amazing children's books & this one is a perfect example. Encouraging kids to live an ecologically responsible lifestyle, these children of the night travel around the Earth cleaning up messes. This should delight parents everywhere!Rather than simply throwing things away, this creepy crew recycles, reuses, & provides tips to make Earth greener. Illustrations by Mark Draisley provide a glimpse into the adventures. Never fear, the Zombie-Kids are more cute than scary. Once their job is done, the crew returns to their respective coffins to rest from a hard night's work.The message to children is clear & concise. While their learning ways to be green, the rhyming and pictures will provide entertainment. It's a nice, clean message, no pun intended. If you're having issue teaching your young ones about saving energy & conserving water then this book is perfect for you.Great to use as any anytime story, it's also perfectly worded for those learning to read on their own. Not too long & not too short, the rhyming will also add in learning phonics. My ten year old read it with ease & enjoyed the storyline. Then we read it together & talked about the Earth-friendly ideas given by the Zombie-kids. It's a great conversation started.I received an eBook in exchange for an honest review.
